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 from distribution servers across all peers in this subnet. WANMaxRate is used in conjunction with WANAveragingTime to limit the bandwidth used between the distribution server and the group of managed devices that is downloading the files.

 

RayManageSoft Unified Endpoint Manager calculates the sum of file transfers that have occurred between the distribution server and the peer group of managed devices to which this device belongs. Since transfers occur in blocks and not as a continuous stream, RayManageSoft Unified Endpoint Manager will smooth out the variation in transfer rates using the WANAveragingTime settings and a simple exponential algorithm. The result is an estimate of the transfer rate. Transfer rates will be decreased if the estimated rate exceeds the specified WANMaxRate and will be increased if they are below the specified WANMaxRate (Transfers can creep up to the WANMaxRate, but will drop back rapidly when the estimated rate is greater than WANMaxRate.).

 

The value of this setting is being retrieved from the registry every five seconds. Therefore, it is not necessary to restart RayManageSoft Unified Endpoint Manager on managed devices after changing the value of this setting.
