Measures reported by CtxNsRnatTest

With ‘Reverse Network Address Translation’ (RNAT), the NetScaler replaces the source IP addresses in the packets generated by hosts in the configured subnet with the configured, NAT IP address(es). Typically, RNAT is used to allow servers configured with private non-routable IP addresses to initiate connections to the Internet.

Using this test, you can measure the load imposed by the RNAT sessions to the NetScaler appliance.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Current_rnat_sessions Indicates the number of current RNAT active sessions. Number This is a good indicator of the RNAT session load on the NetScaler appliance.
Req_for_conn_sent Indicates the number of requests for connections that were sent during the RNAT sessions since the last measurement period. Number  
Data_received Indicates the number of bytes that were received during RNAT sessions since the last measurement period. MB These measures are good indicators of the load imposed by the RNAT sessions on the NetScaler appliance.
Data_transmitted Indicates the number of bytes that were transmitted during RNAT sessions since the last measurement period. MB
Packets_received Indicates the number of packets that were received during RNAT sessions since the last measurement period. Number These measures are good indicators of the load imposed by RNAT sessions on the NetScaler appliance.
Packets_transmitted Indicates the number of packets that were transmitted during RNAT sessions since the last measurement period. Number
