Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • It tests UDP connectivity by sending a UDP packet and expecting a response.

    Why this is correct

    UDP echo operation sends a UDP datagram and waits for a reply to measure round-trip time.

  • It tests ICMP echo instead of UDP.

    Why it's wrong here

    It uses udp-echo, not icmp-echo.

  • It measures jitter and packet loss.

    Why it's wrong here

    Jitter measurement requires udp-jitter.

  • It will only work if the destination is a Cisco router.

    Why it's wrong here

    Any device that responds to UDP echo can be used.
