Which feature of Prisma SD-WAN optimizes application performance across the network?

The correct answer is B. Dynamic Path Selection. Dynamic Path Selection is correct because Prisma SD-WAN continuously monitors all available WAN paths (MPLS, broadband, LTE, etc.) in real time and automatically steers application traffic onto the best-performing link based on metrics like latency, jitter, and packet loss…

Explanation

Dynamic Path Selection is correct because Prisma SD-WAN continuously monitors all available WAN paths (MPLS, broadband, LTE, etc.) in real time and automatically steers application traffic onto the best-performing link based on metrics like latency, jitter, and packet loss - directly optimizing application performance.

URL Filtering (A) is a security feature that controls which websites users can access; it filters content but has no role in optimizing how traffic flows across WAN paths. Link aggregation (C) combines physical interfaces to increase raw bandwidth capacity, but it doesn't intelligently choose paths based on application needs or real-time conditions. Bandwidth management (D) controls how much bandwidth is allocated to different traffic types (QoS/throttling), which can prevent congestion but doesn't actively select the optimal path for each application.

Memory tip: Think "Dynamic = Decision in motion" - SD-WAN is all about choosing the smartest route on the fly, so the feature with "Dynamic" in the name is the one actively making path decisions to keep apps performing well.
