Real Services

Real service testing is performed between the testing probe (acting as a client) and a server on the network, most of the time in the public Internet.

The probe will access the service and compute key performance indicators for the test.

These tests perform application performance testing: they measure network quality but also application performance.

For distributed sites real service testing, the following endpoints support real service tests:

• xr2000 hardware endpoint
• xrpi2 hardware endpoint
• xr2000 virtual probe in virtual machine

Prerequisites

It is also important to take into account that a lot of the real service tests are done to the public services, therefore they will only be available if the endpoint has access to public internet. DNS settings are set so that public IP addresses can be resolved.
