F5 Application Client Subnets Test

A client subnet is a group of client IPs that are within the same network.

For each pre-defined client subnet, this test reports the time taken by the applications that are load balanced by the target traffic manager to respond to requests when requested through each client subnet, reports the average load time of the application accessed through each client subnet etc. Using this test, administrators can easily identify the application client subnets that were impacting the user experience with the web applications load balanced by the traffic manager.

Target of the test : A Big-IP/F5 Local Traffic Manager

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each application client subnet through which traffic flow to the applications load balanced by the target traffic manager is monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test
