CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 489

A user stores large graphic files. The time required to transfer the files to the server is excessive due to network congestion. The user's budget does not allow for the current switches to be replaced. Which of the following can be used to provide FASTER transfer times?

Answer options

• A. Half duplex
• B. Jumbo frames
• C. LACP
• D. 802.1Q

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Jumbo frames allow for larger Ethernet frames, which reduces the overhead and enhances the efficiency of data transfer, leading to faster transfer times. Half duplex limits communication to one direction at a time, LACP is used for link aggregation which does not directly improve transfer times for individual file transfers, and 802.1Q is a VLAN tagging protocol that does not address transfer speed issues.
