Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.Application classification can require initial packets.

Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • Application classification can require initial packets.

Application recognition may not be available on the first packet. Inspect subsequent identification/steering state. The observation does not imply universal inability to recognize encrypted applications, mandatory manual assignment or a required drop.
