Clients that use the Push mode download policies and content as soon as they become available. On push mode an open connection is kept so that the manager can contact the client immediately when data is available. Clients that use the Pull mode download policies and content based on the Heartbeat interval setting, which is set to 5 minutes by default. Because of the greater network bandwidth that is used with the push mode, it is recommended more for small and medium-sized networks.
