Which benefit does packet duplication provide?

The correct answer is C. protection against packet loss. Packet duplication in SD-WAN sends identical packets across multiple WAN transport paths simultaneously, primarily providing protection against packet loss.

Why each option

Packet duplication in SD-WAN sends identical packets across multiple WAN transport paths simultaneously, primarily providing protection against packet loss.

Apacket data policy protection

Packet data policy protection relates to security policies that define how traffic is handled or secured, not to the mechanism of sending duplicate packets.

Bsession security

Session security is typically achieved through encryption and authentication protocols like IPsec or TLS, which is distinct from simply duplicating packets.

Cprotection against packet lossCorrect

Packet duplication, a feature in Cisco SD-WAN, sends duplicate copies of packets over multiple WAN transport tunnels simultaneously, significantly enhancing resilience by ensuring that if one path experiences packet loss, another copy can still reach the destination successfully.

Dprevention of frame loss

Frame loss refers to data link layer (Layer 2) issues, whereas packet duplication in SD-WAN operates at the network layer (Layer 3) to protect against packet loss across different WAN paths.
