A company is experiencing accessibility issues reaching services on a cloud-based system. Which
of the following monitoring tools should be used to locate possible outages?
A.
Network analyzer
B.
Packet analyzer
C.
Protocol analyzer
D.
Network sniffer
Explanation:
Packet analyzer, protocol analyzer, and network sniffer are all the same thing. Neither are the best answer because packet analysis on a host or local network would not be the first place to look when the network link to a cloud service is interrupted. The function of this kind of device is to intercept, decode, and log raw packet data and analyze it against specifications or other rules.
The network analyzer is the answer they want. Just say network analyzer. Many sites refer to all of these as the same thing.
