Spike

Objective

Monkey agents can tunnel over an HTTP connection or a TCP connection. It is unclear what benefit there is to providing two different tunneling mechanisms. Determine whether or not one of the two tunneling mechanisms can be removed.

Scope

• Determine if both tunneling mechanisms are exercised by the blackbox tests, or if one tunneling mechanism is totally untested. (0d) @ilija-lazoroski
• Pick either TCP or HTTP. Create a github issue for removing the other. (0d)

Output

The output of this spike is one or more of:

• A new GitHub issue to capture the required work to remove one of the tunneling mechanisms
• Comments added to the code that clarify the purpose of different tunneling mechanisms
• Documentation describing the different tunneling mechanisms, their strengths and advantages, and how to enable/disable or configure them.
