CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 398

A user from a remote office is reporting slow file transfers. Which of the following tools will an engineer MOST likely use to get detailed measurement data?

Answer options

• A. Packet capture
• B. iPerf
• C. SIEM log review
• D. Internet speed test

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, iPerf, as it is specifically designed to measure bandwidth and performance over a network. Packet capture (A) is more for analyzing packet data rather than measuring throughput, SIEM log review (C) focuses on security logs and events, and an Internet speed test (D) provides general speed metrics but may not reflect the specific issues in a file transfer scenario.
