Scenario 1.2: Service Utilization
=================================

Purpose
-------

Identify and log protocol-specific distinct characteristics of Layer 5, 6, and 7-type service utilization and consumption information.

Description
-----------

This demonstration shows how decrypted traffic can be utilized to identify, collect, and report on layer-specific information in an HTTP stack. A web request made through the browser is used to produce HTTPS traffic in order to demonstrate the visibility of the connection information at various levels.

Procedure
---------

1. Use a browser to navigate to the URL of the testapp server.
2. Observe the layer-specific decrypted traffic in NetScout's Packet Analysis tool.

Expected Outcome
----------------

The decrypted traffic is visible in NetScout and the layer-specific information is present.
