You have put measures in place to manage `f' SYN packets per second, and the system is designed to deal with this number without any performance issues. If 's' exceeds `f', the network infrastructure begins to show signs of overload. The system's response time increases exponentially (24k), where 'k' represents each additional SYN packet above the ff limit. Now, considering 's=500' and different 'f values, in which scenario is the server most likely to experience overload and significantly increased response times?

Options

  • Af=510: The server can handle 510 SYN packets per second, which is greater than what the
  • Bf=495: The server can handle 495 SYN packets per second. The response time drastically rises
  • Cf=S05: The server can handle 505 SYN packets per second. In this case, the response time
  • Df=420: The server can handle 490 SYN packets per second. With 's' exceeding `f by 10, the
