1. 1

   Which term describes the time delay between a user's request and the server's response in a network?

3. 3

   You notice that one server in your load-balanced pool is receiving significantly more traffic than the others, despite the load balancer using a 'Least Connections' algorithm. What is the most likely cause?

4. 4

   What is the primary risk of using 'Sticky Sessions' (Session Affinity) in a load-balanced environment?

5. 5

   Under high load, you observe that your latency increases exponentially only when the load balancer performs 'Layer 7' inspection compared to 'Layer 4' routing. Why does this happen?
