You want to test a WAN circuit in a way that more closely simulates a single SCP or FTP file transfer. Which method should you use?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The correct answer is B. Versa documentation for internet speed tests explains that when you run an internet speed test from a Director node, it creates approximately 200 sessions. This is useful for measuring aggregate throughput, but it does not represent the behavior of a single application flow. The same documentation states that you can run a speed test with a single session from the device CLI, and that this is useful for simulating file transfer rates when using SCP or FTP.

Therefore, when the goal is to understand how a single file transfer behaves, the CLI-based single-session test is the best option. A default Director-based test may produce higher aggregate results because multiple sessions can use parallelism and better fill the pipe.

show interfaces brief is useful for interface status and addressing, but it does not measure file-transfer throughput. SLA latency is useful for path-quality monitoring, but latency alone does not show single-session TCP throughput.
