CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 240

A network is experiencing extreme latency when accessing a particular website. Which of the following commands will BEST help identify the issue?

Answer options

• A. ipconfig
• B. netstat
• C. tracert
• D. ping

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The 'tracert' command is the best choice as it traces the route packets take to their destination, helping to identify where latency occurs. While 'ping' can check connectivity and measure round-trip time, it does not provide the route information. 'ipconfig' displays network configuration, and 'netstat' shows active connections, neither of which directly assist in pinpointing latency issues.
