Explanation
NetFlow provides three primary categories of benefit: (A) Network, Application & User Monitoring - NetFlow reveals who is talking to whom, which applications are running, and how much bandwidth each user or app consumes, enabling deep visibility. (C) Security Analysis - because NetFlow records all traffic flows, it enables detection of anomalies such as port scans, DDoS attacks, worm propagation, and unusual traffic patterns that may indicate a breach. (D) Accounting/Billing - NetFlow's per-flow byte and packet counts make it ideal for ISPs and enterprises to bill customers or departments based on actual traffic consumption. While Network Planning is also a common use of NetFlow data, in this exam context only three answers (A, C, D) are marked correct.
