VirtualApp

In Ixiea, a VirtualApp is an application that includes an image address. When a user connects to an asset through a VirtualApp, remote application connector creates a corresponding VirtualApp container based on the image and establishes the connection through that container.

remote application connector, also called the Application provider, is a component of Ixiea. It is used to fetch VirtualApp images and manage containers, including creating, starting, stopping, and deleting containers.
