CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 869

A network consultant is working with a software-defined network and is troubleshooting an issue with an application's instructions being properly translated for the network components. Which of the following is most likely at fault?

Answer options

• A. Infrastructure layer
• B. Session layer
• C. Control layer
• D. Application layer

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, the Control layer, as it is responsible for managing the network's behavior and translating application instructions into actions for the network components. The other layers, such as the Infrastructure layer, Session layer, and Application layer, do not directly handle the translation of application commands for network control.
