Exam 350-701 topic 1 question 435 discussion

I think this is tricky. I vote for A (Netflow), because I think that SNMP is NOT considered a Network Telemetry element and Netflow is

Going with A for the reasons Fuku mentioned. SNMP is not technically a network telemetry gathering protocol. it gives stats about a device itself. It can not determine the health/state of an actual network as a whole. Even if you have SNMP on 10 devices versus NETFLOW on 10 devices... you will have much better readings from NETFLOW than you ever could with SNMP.

B , keyword " most commonly used protocol"

I vote A because NetFlow = Cisco This is a Cisco exam...

A and B are correct. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collateral/enterprise/design-zone-security/telemetry-architecture-guide.html

The most commonly used protocol for network telemetry is Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is an Internet Standard protocol used to manage and monitor network devices, such as routers, switches, servers, and printers. It provides a way to collect and organize information about network devices and their performance, and to send that information to management systems for analysis and reporting. SNMP allows administrators to monitor and manage network devices from a central location, and to quickly identify and troubleshoot issues before they affect the network's performance or availability
