Bandwidth throttling
Many network environments have limited bandwidth between certain geographic locations, between offices and home users using VPNs, and so forth. Deploying large Microsoft® patches (for example: the Windows 7 SP1 update is 537 MB!) can overwhelm limited bandwidth connections and cause bandwidth problems for certain users or applications.
- Properly implemented and maintained Relay architecture
- Distributing patch deployments over time
- Applying bandwidth throttling configurations between components
You can configure the bandwidth throttling settings through tasks within the BES Support site. On
the console, click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\EnterpriseClient\Settings\Client
and
with a String [REG_SZ]
type of named value. The value is entered as a numeric; for
example, 500 bps is entered as 500.
