6.6.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring an HTTP test, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment,
complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This can help you complete
the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
Through the NQA HTTP test, you can obtain the responding speed in three phases:
l
Time of DNS resolution: It is a period from the time the client sends the DNS packet to the
resolver for resolving the name of the HTTP server to an IP address to the time the DNS
resolution packets containing the IP address is returned.
l
Time to set up a TCP connection: It is the time taken by the client to set up a TCP connection
with an HTTP server through three-way handshake.
l
Transaction time: It is a period from the time the client sends the Get or Post packets to an
HTTP server to the time the Echo packet sent by the client reaches the HTTP server.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring the HTTP test, complete the following tasks:
l
Configuring the HTTP server

Configuring routes between the NQA client and the HTTP server
