How much bandwidth does the agent use?
The agent uses very little bandwidth as all collected information is compressed. The typical size of the agent inventory file is approximately 5K, depending on the computer configuration. In additions, the agents are running at random intervals (on average, every 10 hours an inventory collection is scheduled by the agent) so that bandwidth usage would be spread across the day ensuring that there are no spikes in network bandwidth consumption even for large networks with thousands of computers.
