Really? I thought LPD was involved in sessions too.

IGMP is for multicast, not session layer.

Wait, isn't SPX also session layer?

Totally agree, it's definitely RPC.

RPC operates at the session layer!

LPD seems more like a printing protocol, so I doubt it’s the session layer. I think I’ll go with RPC for this one.

I feel like I’ve seen SPX mentioned in the context of session layer protocols, but I can't recall if it’s actually layer 5.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember IGMP is related to multicast and operates at a lower layer, maybe layer 3?

I think RPC might be the right answer since it deals with remote procedure calls, which sounds like session management.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. I'm not sure if the ALB logs or CloudWatch Logs would be the best option here. I'll need to think this through carefully.

I've got a strategy for this. I'll first calculate the simple interest rate based on the 2% discount, then convert that to an effective annual rate. That should give me the answer.

Okay, let me break this down. Maturity level is more of an overall assessment, not a specific focus area. Key goal indicator sounds right, but I want to double-check that against the other options.

I'm really stuck between Lyle and Thomas. Are we counting their full names or just the last names?
