CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 719

Users in a remote office report that corporate web server pages are taking a long time to load, whereas users in the main corporate office do not have any issues. Which of the following is the best metric for a network administrator to check?

Answer options

• A. Jitter across the network
• B. Hop-by-hop network latency
• C. Server interface CRC errors
• D. Server NetFlow data

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The best metric to evaluate in this situation is hop-by-hop network latency because it helps identify delays in the network path specifically impacting the remote office. Jitter, server interface CRC errors, and NetFlow data do not directly measure the latency that the remote users are experiencing, making them less relevant for diagnosing slow page loads.
