A hotel chain sees high loss on the local network inside the property, before guest traffic reaches the WAN handoff. What should be repaired?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A leak in the basement is not fixed by replacing the water main out in the street. You repair the local network inside the building, because the loss shows up before guest traffic reaches the WAN handoff. A circuit swap past that handoff, a BGP alert outside the property, or a data-center agent moved to another city leaves the local loss in place.
Full Explanation
Loss measured on the local network before traffic leaves the building is inside the property. Repair follows that evidence to the local network: the guest LAN, the access layer, or the path up to but not beyond the handoff. Replacing a WAN circuit that sits past the handoff where this loss is not seen changes a circuit the loss figures have not reached. A BGP alert for a session that lives outside the hotel property watches routing beyond the building and does not explain loss that is already present on the inside. Moving the data-center agent to a host located in another city relocates a distant vantage point and does nothing to the property network where the loss is observed. Exam caveat: loss that is visible before the handoff is a local-network finding even when the application itself is off site. Operational check: compare loss on the inside of the handoff with loss on the WAN side and keep the repair on the side that shows the loss. The property LAN is the segment the loss timeline already identifies.
