Explanation
NetFlow is a network protocol that collects and exports IP traffic information, providing session data that describes network conversations and their characteristics.
Common mistakes.
- B. Application logs are generated by software applications and contain application-specific events, separate from network flow data.
- C. Network downtime reports are generated by monitoring systems based on availability metrics, which is different from traffic flow data collected by NetFlow.
- D. Full packet capture records every bit of data in every packet, including the payload, which is far more comprehensive and resource-intensive than the metadata collected by NetFlow.
