Which performance factor is most relevant to traffic that is destined to a data center'?

Question

Options

• Afocused on Internet edge traffic
• Bsmaller, fast transactions such as HTTP
• Cmore likelihood of malicious traffic requiring more logging
• Dfocused on internal traffic

• A
  86% (18)
• B
  5% (1)
• D
  10% (2)

Explanation

Traffic destined to a data center originates from external sources on the internet and must pass through the network's internet edge before reaching internal resources, making Internet edge traffic (A) the most relevant performance factor - these devices must handle high volumes of inbound connections, diverse traffic types, and the throughput demands of external users accessing data center services.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B describes a characteristic of some traffic (small HTTP transactions), not a performance factor category relevant to data center-bound flows, which often include large, sustained transfers.
• C conflates security logging with performance; while malicious traffic is a concern, logging overhead is a security/policy consideration, not the defining performance factor for this traffic type.
• D is the opposite of what's described - traffic destined to a data center is typically inbound from external/internet sources, not internal traffic flowing laterally within the organization.

Memory tip: Think of it directionally - traffic going to a data center is coming from the internet, so it hits the internet edge first. "Destined to DC = arriving from the edge."
