Configuring TCP tests
TCP tests of an NQA test group are used to test the TCP connection between the NQA client and a port
on the NQA server and the time for setting up a connection. The test result helps you understand the
availability and performance of the services provided by the port on the server.
Configuration prerequisites
TCP tests require cooperation between the NQA server and the NQA client. Before you start TCP tests,
configure a TCP listening service on the NQA server. For more information about the TCP listening service
configuration, see “Configuring the NQA server.”
