Which Analysis graph details the delay for the complete path between the source and destination machines?
-
MS IIS
-
Windows Resource
-
Network Delay Time
-
Time to First Buffer Breakdown
LoadRunner analysis graphs include 'Network Delay Time' which shows the complete round-trip delay between source and destination machines. 'Time to First Buffer' measures server response time, not network path delay. MS IIS and Windows Resource are server metrics, not network path analysis.
The 'Network Delay Time' graph is correct. In LoadRunner/performance-analysis tools, this graph breaks down and displays the time spent in each network segment along the full round-trip path between the client (Vuser) machine and the server, letting you isolate where network latency is occurring end-to-end. 'MS IIS' and 'Windows Resource' are server-side resource monitor graphs (IIS counters, OS resource utilization) that show server health, not path delay. 'Time to First Buffer Breakdown' shows how the response time for the first buffer is split across DNS resolution, connection, SSL handshake, etc. — it's about the first-buffer latency components, not the complete source-to-destination path delay. Only the Network Delay Time graph specifically measures and visualizes delay across the entire network path.
