Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 35 discussion

East-west traffic, in a networking context, is the transfer of data packets from server to server within a data center. The term east-west for this type of traffic comes from network diagram drawings that usually depict local area network (LAN) traffic horizontally

- In networking, the term "East-West traffic" refers to the flow of data within a data center or between data centers. This type of traffic refers to communication between servers, applications, and other infrastructure components within a data center, or between data centers. - In contrast, "North-South traffic" refers to the flow of data in and out of a data center, typically between the data center and end-users, or between the data center and the Internet.

East-West traffic = server to server traffic North-South traffic = client to server traffic To keep it simple.

D is the correct answer

In each mention of data transfer except one, the transmission is either being uploaded to an external cloud service, or being downloaded to a portable device that does not stay part of the same LAN under a single router, firewall, or proxy server & therefore can leave the network (North-Bound). A hosted virtual server to another physical server for redundancy implies it is part of the same data center network & so would be traffic going from East-to-West.

It's definitely B

"Hosted" = inside the datacenter. TO "physical" server(also inside the datacenter).

A,C and D seem drift off. They don't provide the information I would really want to ask about. You end up knocking those three out and picking the more logical answer B

It's B right?
