CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 416

Which of the following can be used to decrease latency during periods of high utilization of a firewall?

Answer options

• A. Hot site
• B. Content inspection
• C. HA pair
• D. VRRP

Correct answer: C

Explanation

An HA pair (High Availability pair) allows for load balancing and redundancy, which effectively decreases latency during high utilization periods by distributing the traffic. The other options, such as Hot site and Content inspection, do not directly address latency issues, while VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) focuses on router failover rather than load management.
