What happens on the network during a simple IxChariot test?
Solution When you Run a simple IxChariot test with a single pair of endpoints, the IxChariot Console sends a flow of data containing your configuration information to the Endpoint 1 computer in the pair you’ve created. This flow of data includes the script that the endpoints will execute. The Endpoint 1 computer keeps its half of the script and send the other half to Endpoint 2. When Endpoint 2 sends an acknowledgment, Endpoint 1 notifies the Console. Then the Console instructs Endpoint 1 to begin executing the script. Each endpoint performs the commands in the script. IxChariot scripts include a number of iterations to obtain the most representative results. Endpoint 1 times the test and collects results for non-streaming pairs. For a streaming pair, Endpoint 2 collects results and returns them to the Console via Endpoint 1. Endpoint 1 finally returns test data to the Console for presentation and analysis.
