CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 443

A company has a geographically remote office. In order to connect to the internet, the company has decided to use a satellite WAN link. Which of the following is the GREATEST concern for this type of connection?

Answer options

• A. Duplex
• B. Collisions
• C. Jitter
• D. Encapsulation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Jitter is the most significant concern for satellite connections due to the latency and variability in signal transmission times, which can affect the quality of real-time applications. Duplex and collisions are more relevant to local area networks, while encapsulation is a method for data formatting that does not directly relate to the connection's performance issues.
