The amount of data used depends on the agent Operating System (32-bit or 64-bit) and the scan method used (Conventional Scan or Smart Scan).
The following shows the approximate amount of data transferred over the network per client when an upgrade is performed:
This data was collected under the following conditions:
- The upgrade is from OSCE 11.0 Service Pack 1 Critical Patch build 4150 to OSCE XG Build 1222
- Conventional and Smart Scan agent upgrades were tested
- 32-bit and 64-bit Operating Systems were tested
Conventional Scan Agents:
Total Bandwidth Consumed in Megabytes (MB) per client:
- 32-bit agents - ~194 MB
- 64-bit agents - ~234 MB
Smart Scan Agents:
Total Bandwidth Consumed in Megabytes (MB) per client:
- 32-bit agents - ~152 MB
- 64-bit agents - ~188 MB
Additional information about the amount of data transferred per component is available in the Estimated upgrade size to OSCE XG spreadsheet.
