Network architecture
Measure the application instead of an unrelated tunnel.
Network placement affects every load-test result. With the Agent installed next to the customer’s JMeter load generator, generated traffic follows the customer-selected route directly to the system under test.

Place the generator near the target
Select a host that already has representative access to the test environment. Internal applications can remain reachable through the customer network without exposing the target to a managed load cloud.
Separate coordination from generated traffic
Load Test Lab sends commands and receives status, result files, and logs. The high-volume JMeter traffic itself travels between the customer load generator and the tested application.
Validate the complete network path
Before interpreting latency or throughput, confirm load-generator capacity, target connectivity, proxy configuration, and any customer VPN that is intentionally part of the chosen route.
Put Load Test Lab into practice
Prove the value with a real test.
Start with the scripts and load generator your team already uses.
