Which term describes the capability that allows direct connection between two devices without routing traffic through a central hub?

• A. Peer-to-Peer Segmentation
• B. Zero Trust
• C. Cloud to On-Premise Connections
• D. Peering

Answer: (A)

Direct communication between two devices without routing through a central hub is a peer-to-peer arrangement. In this setup, the endpoints talk to each other directly as equals, with no single intermediate device or hub handling all traffic. The term that best captures this idea among the given options is Peer-to-Peer Segmentation, because it foregrounds the peer-to-peer relationship between endpoints and the idea of controlling or isolating traffic between those peers while still allowing direct connections. The other terms describe different concepts: Zero Trust focuses on never assuming trust and repeatedly verifying access; Cloud to On-Premise Connections describes bridging cloud and on‑premises environments (often via gateways); Peering typically refers to direct interconnections between networks rather than individual devices, which is related but operates at a broader, network-level scope.
