What is the network utilization (bandwidth) associated with running the discovery engine? What is the network utilization (bandwidth) associated with running the discovery engine?
Each device takes a maximum of 64kbit/s, i.e., one ISDN channel. Note that this is a maximum, and the average is more around 30kbit/s. Each device is actually assigned one process, and each process is tuned to use up to 64kbit/s maximum. Therefore, the number of parallel processes determines the number of devices that may be processed at the same time. And this determines the maximum bandwidth that will be used. For example, if the number of parallel processes is set to 10 (maximum with autoMap™) and there are 10 devices in the inventory stack, the discovery engine will process those 10 devices in parallel. And will use UP TO 640kbit/second.
