Watch for

The request to the crashed server hanging with no reply and timing out — versus the clean there-and-back of a healthy call.

More about this scenario
You'll learn

What a request/response round-trip is, and what 'the server is down' actually looks like to a client.

How it runs

Each request travels to the server and a response comes back — one hop each way. While the server is crashed, the request gets no response and eventually times out. Reviving the server restores normal round-trips.
