Which type of traffic is most prominent in this NetFlow data?

⚠ Common exam trap

Cisco often tests the ability to distinguish between HTTP and HTTPS by port number, and the trap here is that candidates might assume HTTPS is more common due to modern encryption trends, but the NetFlow data explicitly shows higher traffic on port 80.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

HTTP

HTTP traffic is most prominent because the NetFlow data shows a high volume of packets and bytes on TCP port 80, which is the default port for HTTP. NetFlow records summarize traffic flows, and the large number of flows and bytes on port 80 indicates that HTTP is the dominant protocol in the captured data.
