Selected Answer: C
C. Collect the router's NetFlow data will BEST support the administrator's response to confirm that recent network outages were caused by increased traffic generated by a recently released application. NetFlow is a network protocol that provides detailed information about network traffic flows. By collecting NetFlow data on the router, the administrator can analyze the traffic patterns and determine if the increased traffic generated by the new application is the root cause of the network outages.

Selected Answer: C
C. Collect the router's NetFlow data. NetFlow data provides information on network traffic, including the source and destination IP addresses, port numbers, and type of traffic, as well as bandwidth and volume of data transferred. This information can help the administrator determine if there was an increase in traffic from the recently released application and if it was the cause of the network outages.

NetFlow Analyzers allow network administrators to understand the impact of application traffic on the network. For instance, they can identify unusual network loads, such as video content or large file transfers, and measure how application and policy changes affect costly WAN/SD-WAN traffic. Packet capture: Packet capture tools, such as Wireshark, are used to capture and analyze network traffic at the packet level. While they can provide insights into network issues, they might require more expertise and might not be as focused on measuring overall network performance.

I would go B. As this is more real approach for such cases.

Ohh I think comparing the baseline is what they expect to check if it is because of the new (the keyword I picked).

The baseline would show that we are indeed experiencing increased loads, but it may not necessarily tell you where the extra load is coming from. Sounds like a problem NetFlow can fix
