Details of network load spread among Administration Server and protected devices
This section provides the results of test measurements of network traffic with a description of the conditions under which the measurements were performed. You can refer to this information when planning the network infrastructure and the throughput capacity of network channels within your organization (or between the Administration Server and another organization with devices to protect). Knowing the throughput capacity of the network, you can also estimate approximately how much time different data transmission operations will take.
Traffic consumption under various scenarios
The table below shows the results of measuring tests conducted on traffic between the Administration Server and a managed device in different scenarios.
By default, devices are synchronized with the Administration Server every 15 minutes or at a longer interval. However, if you modify the settings of a policy or a task on the Administration Server, early synchronization occurs on devices to which the policy (or task) is applicable so the new settings are transmitted to the devices.

Average traffic usage per 24 hours
The average 24-hour traffic usage between the Administration Server and a managed device is as follows:
- Traffic from the Administration Server to the managed device is 840 KB.
- Traffic from the managed device to the Administration Server is 1 MB.
The traffic was measured under the following conditions:
- The managed device had Network Agent and Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux installed.
- The device was not assigned a distribution point.
- Vulnerability and patch management was not enabled.
- The frequency of synchronization with the Administration Server was 15 minutes.
