Configuring the TCP Test
c
CAUTION: You are not recommended to perform an NQA TCP test on ports from
1 to 1023 (known ports). Otherwise, the NQA test will fail or the corresponding
services of this port will be unavailable.
The TCP test is used to test the TCP connection between the client and the
specified server and the setup time for the connection.
The TCP test includes TCP-Public test and TCP-Private test.
■ For the TCP-Public test, a connection setup request is permanently initiated to
TCP port 7 of the destination address. No destination port needs to be
configured on the client, but TCP port 7 used for listening needs to be
configured on the server. Even if a port is configured on the client, the port
does not take effect.
■ For the TCP-Private test, a connection setup request is initiated to the specified
port of the destination address.
