easy📝 Conceptual Q1 of 15
GCP - Cloud Load Balancing
What layer of the OSI model does a TCP/UDP Load Balancer operate on in GCP?
ALayer 3 (Network Layer)
BLayer 2 (Data Link Layer)
CLayer 7 (Application Layer)
DLayer 4 (Transport Layer)
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand OSI model layers

    The OSI model has 7 layers, each handling different network functions.
  2. Step 2: Identify Load Balancer operation layer

    TCP/UDP Load Balancers work on Layer 4, managing transport protocols like TCP and UDP.
  3. Final Answer:

    Layer 4 (Transport Layer) -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    OSI Layer for TCP/UDP Load Balancer = Layer 4 [OK]
Quick Trick: Layer 4 handles TCP/UDP traffic balancing [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing Layer 4 with Layer 7
  • Thinking it operates at Network Layer
  • Assuming it works at Data Link Layer
