Surprised that packet-loss is even a criteria, isn't it usually about speed?

C is incorrect, wan2 isn't being used right now.

I think A is misleading, latency isn't the only factor.

B is definitely true, wan1 is active.

I vaguely recall that the outgoing interface depends on the current metrics. I hope I can remember which one is correct during the exam!

I’m a bit confused about the quality criteria. I thought packet loss was more critical than latency in some cases?

I think we practiced a question similar to this where we had to identify which WAN interface was active. I feel like wan1 is the right choice.

I remember something about how latency affects path selection, but I'm not sure if it's the main quality criteria here.

I think I've got a handle on this. The key is to look at the diagnostic commands and determine which interfaces are currently being used for outgoing traffic. That should help me identify the true statements.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. "Latency is the quality criteria" and "Packet-loss is the quality criteria" - I'm not sure what they're getting at there. I'll need to think this through carefully.

Okay, let's see here. The question is asking about the path resolution, so I'll need to focus on understanding the network topology and how traffic is being routed.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully analyze the topology and diagnostic commands to determine the true statements about path resolution.

Ah, I see what's going on here. Latency and packet-loss are the key factors, and the exhibits indicate that wan1 is the primary outgoing interface. Easy peasy!

Hmm, I'm pretty sure wan1 is the outgoing interface based on the topology. But wait, isn't wan2 the backup path? This is getting confusing.

Well, this is a tricky one. The exhibits show a topology, so I'd say latency and packet-loss are both important quality criteria. Let's see what the experts have to say.
