Thanks folks. I was more curious about what the reasonable limit is for concurrent connections. In my neck of the woods we only have the 3 main DP’s and a few branch where slow links are and have never run into issues. That said, I usually BITS a week ahead of time if I can and network folks have never tried to lynch me.

Some folks on the a planning session were talking about maximum concurrent connections from our clients to the dp’s for deploying software. We have a pretty quick network, and in my area we usually bits stuff down and have a few 1000 clients per DP. We have pushed some fairly large apps and scheduled them to go all at once but it’s been a while since we didn’t use the BITS option. The client count in the new environment will be 50000 ish. I’m wondering what folks think about say deploying a 500 MB package and running it from the DP’s – or how you folks figure out how many dp’s to deploy assuming you want to be able to deploy packages to large numbers of systems at once.
