On a hospital campus, clinicians report loss and jitter on the path to a clinical system, and name lookups for that system succeed. Which test matches the symptom?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Loss and jitter are the condition of the road, not a wrong name on the street sign. You run a network test that measures loss, latency, and jitter, because lookups already succeed. A page-load test or a call-quality score covers a complaint the clinicians did not make.
Full Explanation
The clinicians are reporting loss and jitter on the way to a clinical system, and name lookups for that system already succeed. A network test measures loss, latency, and jitter on the path, which is the evidence the report is asking for. A DNS test checks whether names resolve, and that check has already passed, so it will not describe packet loss or jitter. A voice test produces a call-quality score for voice media, which is a different question than path loss and jitter to this clinical system. A web test loads a page and times the objects on it, which matters when the complaint is a slow or broken page rather than loss and jitter on the path. A call-quality score or a page timer would measure a phone call or a portal render, not the loss and jitter on the path the clinicians named. Exam caveat: pick the test from the symptom you were given; a successful name lookup removes DNS as the next measurement even if a name test is easy to run. Operational check: point the network test at the clinical system the users named and compare its loss, latency, and jitter with the intervals when the clinicians reported the trouble.
