Measures reported by CtxNsIsWebCTypeTest

Users place requests for different web content types with the NetScaler appliance. A web content type represents the type of content in a file that the web server serves to the NetScaler appliance in response to a user's web request. This can be, text/html, image/jpeg, etc. By identifying the web content types that users often request for and the ones that consume bandwidth excessively, administrators can determine which content types to continue supporting and how. The CtxNsIsWebCTypeTest test enables administrators to make a prudent decision regarding the same. This test auto-discovers the content types served by the NetScaler appliances, and for every content type, it reports the number of requests for that content type and the bandwidth used by that content type.

For instance, if the test reports that a content type is bandwidth-intensive, but is very popular amongst users, then administrators may decide to continue serving requests for that content type via NetScaler by providing adequate bandwidth resources. On the other hand, if a content type is bandwidth-intensive, but rarely requested by users, then administrators may decide to discontinue support for that content type via NetScaler.

Output of the test : One set of results for every content type
