SA Clients Throughput Test

For each client accessing the security appliance connected to the target Cisco Meraki, this test reports the amount of data sent and received. Using this test, administrators can identify the client sending/receiving the maximum amount of data.

Target of the test : A Cisco Meraki

Agent deploying the test : An external agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each Network:Security Appliance:Client connected to the target Cisco Meraki being monitored.
