In general, BITS will attempt to scale back a transfer's bandwidth usage for as long as there's bandwidth contention it can detect , which means "over the same IGD (Internet Gateway Device)" if the IGD supports the right kind of traffic counter queries, or "from the same machine" otherwise), and it will retry-after-xx seconds for many types of outright failures to transfer.
In reality - BITS doesn't get the info from the IGD, so it reverts to using the NIC speed as it's available bandwidth which is less than ideal, so it's best to throttle it using policy. In our testing we found that BranchCache worked even better if BITS was throttled - even just slightly.

What I thought, it basically only knows what else is on the NIC is uses, it doesn't know if there is anything else in the pipe. True?

This is a wet dream that will never come through. Gonna open up a can of worms with this but here it goes. The ONLY way (and the "other vendors" will tell you different with their mumbo-jumbo technology) you can tell how much bandwidth you got on a pipe is to try to cram as much data through as possible for a period of time. WAN software today is very sophisticated and will allow bursts etc. for periods of time depending on certain scenarios. Far more superior people have done many hours on this subject: The A**shole project, sorry Assolo, got some very interesting reading: http://netlab-mn.unipv.it/assolo/ Think of it like answering this question, how fast can you go on a certain road? //A From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Phil Wilcock Sent: den 2 juni 2015 09:29 To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [mssms] BITS Haha - wasn't expecting that Roland :) My number 1 is - Accurate end-to-end bandwidth calculation..

Or something that you never found the answer too? Anything accepted as long as it's not in the form of "make it work". :) Br, //Andreas ---------------------------------- Co-Founder +46727253995 http://2PintSoftware.com http://twitter.com/AndHammarskjold ________________________________ Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail is from a law firm and may be protected by the attorney-client or work product privileges.
