Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
A). When you probe less frequently, updates are slower but generally more accurate since there's less overhead and less chance of missing network changes due to polling overlaps.
C). Probing more frequently results in faster updates but may slightly decrease accuracy due to increased network noise and overlapping probes.
The documentation states:
"A higher probing frequency provides faster updates in NetPath views but can reduce accuracy due to more frequent sampling. Lower frequency means slower updates but typically results in higher accuracy and less system load." References:
