Mitigation Strategies
Follow these strategies to mitigate default test throughput that exceeds your available bandwidth.
- Change the default test target (RAVPN, Zero Trust Access, or SWG remote module) or custom target that is more capable of managing the load.
- Increasing the test interval may mitigate impact on your network. At the default test interval of 1 minute, actual throughput will be at or near estimated peak throughput. Increasing the interval will likely redistribute the tests over the longer interval.
It is not possible to predict actual throughput at test intervals greater than 1 minute. In the worst case scenario, if all endpoint agent tests run at the same time (for example, at minute 30 of a 30-minute test interval), they would still generate actual throughput at or near estimated peak throughput. - Increase the capacity of your backhauling infrastructure.
- If using IPsec tunnels, provision traffic backhauling over your edge infrastructure that is capable of handling increased traffic load.
- If using resource connectors, add additional connectors to resource connector groups to increase the ability to handle the traffic load.
