1.0 Introducing Performance Endpoints

This guide contains information about installing, configuring, and running NetIQ Performance Endpoints. Performance Endpoints are lightweight software agents that allow you to send synthetic VoIP traffic between two nodes on your network and take performance measurements.

Endpoints are available for several operating systems. The latest version of the endpoint software can be downloaded free from the Web. A single installation file for each supported operating system is available at the Current Performance Endpoints Product Upgrades page.

You cannot run endpoint software from removable media, such as CD-ROM/DVD. You must install it on a computer.

The following table identifies the NetIQ products that support Performance Endpoints. System requirements for individual endpoint packages are itemized in the corresponding chapters in this guide.
