Introduction to HTTP and DNS testingΒΆ

These functions enable you to request web pages, verify response codes, and test DNS response times from distributed locations in your network. This in turn helps you to quickly locate the sources of possible problems with your network, web applications or servers, whether they are in the IPv4 or the IPv6 addressing space.
