A parks department must identify which internal host is saturating a public-safety WAN link during an incident. Which visibility tool best exports flow records for top-talker analysis?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When the WAN is melting, you need a guest list of who is talking—not just a red light on the interface. Flexible NetFlow exports those conversations so you can spot the top talker fast. CRC counters and CDP will not name the bandwidth hog.
Full Explanation
Flexible NetFlow caches and exports flow records keyed by configured match fields (addresses, ports, interfaces, etc.), enabling top-talker and capacity forensics. Interface error counters and CDP topology data do not provide conversation-level accounting. Continuous blanket SPAN to a laptop is operationally heavy and is not the primary capacity-visibility tool described here.
