What are two important metrics for network performance monitoring? (Select two.)

Question

Options

• AVLAN ID
• BLatency
• CPacket loss
• DIP address range

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  92% (22)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Latency (B) and packet loss (C) are the correct answers because they directly measure how well a network is performing in real time. Latency measures the delay in data transmission (how long a packet takes to travel from source to destination), and packet loss measures the percentage of packets that fail to reach their destination - both are critical indicators of network health and user experience quality.

VLAN ID (A) is a network segmentation identifier, not a performance metric - it tells you which virtual network a device belongs to, not how well the network is working. IP address range (D) is a configuration/planning concept used for subnetting, with no direct relationship to performance monitoring.

Memory tip: Think "LP" - Latency and Packet loss are the two "pain points" users feel when a network is struggling (slow loads = latency, dropped calls = packet loss). If it describes suffering, it's a performance metric.
