Command-line | Registry

 

This setting is only used if managed devices are configured for peer-to-peer file sharing (AllowPeerToPeer is True).

 

It specifies the maximum allowable rate (in bytes per second) for transfers to and from peer managed devices.

 

The value of this setting should be chosen based on the speed of the LAN connection. For example, if the LAN connection is a 100 MB/s connection, the value for this setting can be set to 1,048,576 (1 MB/s) to ensure that peer-to-peer file sharing operations do not use more than 10% of the available bandwidth.

 

PeerMaxRate is used in conjunction with PeerAveragingTime to limit bandwidth used by peer-to-peer file sharing operations. RayManageSoft Unified Endpoint Manager calculates the sum of file transfers that have occurred between this managed device and peer managed devices. Since transfers occur in blocks and not as continuous stream, RayManageSoft Unified Endpoint Manager smooths out the variation in transfer rates using the PeerAveragingTime and a simple exponential decay algorithm. This result is an estimate of the transfer rate. Transfer rates will be decreased if the estimated rate exceeds the specified PeerMaxRate and increased if they are below the specified PeerMaxRate (Transfers can creep up to the PeerMaxRate, but they will drop back rapidly if the estimated rate is greater than the PeerMaxRate.).

 

RayManageSoft Unified Endpoint Manager retrieves the value for this setting from the registry every five seconds. It is not necessary to restart RayManageSoft Unified Endpoint Manager on a managed device after the value of this setting has been changed.
