Yes, the BITS configuration in CM is very basic – but it had to be as it uses 
the old BITS policy which is the only one that supports XP..

The other crazy thing that CM does is for user initiated downloads (from 
Software Center etc), where it sets the BITS job priority to ‘Foreground’, 
which roughly translates to ‘Put the pedal to the metal and hope everyone gets 
out of your way’

Don’t use BITS config in CM, that’s what I’ve taken.
I’ve configured values in the GPO’s but I guess it is basically either set to 
low or too high, never right.
Brings me back to QoS. Give me lowest priority, but if the road is clear, give 
me everything.

I'm not sure what BITS is lacking because I've never taken the time to fully 
understand ALL of its capabilities and features. I assume that's documented on 
TechNet :). I'm also not certain to what extent ConfigMgr utilizes BITS from 
server-side CM components to client side. Or maybe CM today has superior 
technology than BITS?

We talked about this senior… *sigh* so many times. 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?

Hey,

Got an upcoming meeting with the BITS dev team, anything that you guys see 
missing that should be fixed? 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
