Typically yes, but it depends. If you can stay on the same switch you MC success and transfer goes up significantly. But I haven’t seen any great speeds typically from MC in mixed environments. What do you get at the best?
P2P will be with BITS about 60Mb/s, (as it’s designed to be background) using HTTP it will be around wire speed per client. //A From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Johan Arwidmark Sent: den 25 juni 2017 16:02 To: mdtosd@lists.myitforum.com Cc: Scott Pratt <pra...@wws.k12.in.us> Subject: RE: [MDT-OSD] Multicast Setup (It's running slow) So you’re saying that if you have a classroom of say 30 machines to deploy over lunch, 45 - 60 min window, P2P is going to be faster than multicast? The scenario is to PXE boot all machines at the same time, possibly select a task sequence (or required deployment). For arguments sake, also assume that there are no other machines on the network having the content when deployment starts. / Johan From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com> [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Andreas Hammarskjöld Sent: den 24 juni 2017 13:30 To: mdtosd@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:mdtosd@lists.myitforum.com> Cc: Scott Pratt <pra...@wws.k12.in.us<mailto:pra...@wws.k12.in.us>> Subject: RE: [MDT-OSD] Multicast Setup (It's running slow) Move to P2P instead… with BranchCache you will get 60Mb per node, with one, ten or hundred. 100 * 60Mbs beats any multicast. //A From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com> [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Keith Garner Sent: den 24 maj 2017 18:25 To: mdtosd@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:mdtosd@lists.myitforum.com> Cc: Scott Pratt <pra...@wws.k12.in.us<mailto:pra...@wws.k12.in.us>> Subject: RE: [MDT-OSD] Multicast Setup (It's running slow) Here are some of my notes on the subject: https://keithga.wordpress.com/2014/04/23/multicasting-with-mdt/ -k From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com> [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Wilcox, Kyle Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2017 8:24 AM To: mdtosd@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:mdtosd@lists.myitforum.com> Cc: Scott Pratt <pra...@wws.k12.in.us<mailto:pra...@wws.k12.in.us>> Subject: [MDT-OSD] Multicast Setup (It's running slow) Hello all, We have multicast enabled on our MDT Server. I'm not too familiar with all the networking stuff required for multicast, but our networking guy enabled multicast on his network switches. When we start a deployment, it automatically attempts a multicast session. It runs very slow. The network utilization on the MDT server shows about 9 Mbps. When we drop the client to unicast, the deployment starts to go much faster. Usually around 90 Mbps. Any ideas on how we can speed up the Multicast?
