F5 Application Clients Test

For each client accessing the applications that are load balanced using the target traffic manager, this test reports the time taken by each client to respond to the requests, reports the average load time of the application accessed by the client etc. Using this test, administrators can easily identify the application clients that are instrumental in impacting the user experience with the web applications that are 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 through which traffic flow to the applications load balanced by the target traffic manager is monitored.
