Deprecation of Dynamic Bandwidth Throttling

The BigFix team has made the decision to deprecate the Dynamic Bandwidth Throttling feature in the BigFix Platform.

In complex and varied networking environments, which is increasingly frequent nowadays, dynamic bandwidth calculations are not always reliable or even predictable. Because of this, enabling dynamic throttling in BigFix may lead to unexpected results.

Dynamic throttling usage within BigFix has been discouraged for a long time, in favor of Static Throttling.

Also with the advent of features like PeerNest, that is being improved release after release for efficiency and reliability, bandwidth needs are better managed, and we think Dynamic Bandwidth Throttling is no longer a relevant feature for the product.

Because of the above, the fixlets to configure Dynamic Bandwidth Throttling will be removed from BES Support site shortly, and the product documentation updated.

If you want to report any feedback on this, please reach out directly to alessandro.dinia@hcl-software.com.

Thank you
