Cisco 300-445 Exam - Topic 1 Question 8 Discussion

Actual exam question for Cisco's 300-445 exam

Question #: 8
Topic #: 1

Analyzing the IT operations dashboard, which agent has a better HTTP Connect Time?

ASan Jose CA (AT&T)

BMexico City Mexico (TelMex)

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

In the IT Operations Dashboard, performance metrics are displayed per agent to facilitate granular troubleshooting. By reviewing the latest metrics table, the Mexico City Mexico (TelMex) agent displays a Connect time of 0.51 ms, which is significantly lower (and therefore 'better') than the corresponding time for the San Jose CA agent. Connect time measures the duration for the TCP three-way handshake; a lower value indicates faster network-layer establishment.

Mexico City might surprise us, though. TelMex is improving.

I vaguely recall that TelMex has had issues in the past, but I can't remember if that would impact Mexico City’s HTTP Connect Time compared to San Jose.

I’m a bit confused about how to weigh the factors. Is it just about the location, or do we also consider the service provider's performance history?

I remember looking at a practice question where we compared response times from different regions. I feel like San Jose might have an advantage due to better infrastructure.

I think we discussed something similar in class about how geographical location can affect HTTP Connect Time, but I’m not sure which agent would perform better.
