Traffic between locations can be reduced by following best practices when enabling peer-to-peer communication in your network.
We recommend that you enable peer-to-peer servers on PCs or virtual systems. Enabling peer-to-peer server on laptops or other mobile devices is not recommended.
We recommend that you disable peer-to-peer servers on the systems that have poor network connectivity or are connected using VPN.
When deploying Trellix Agent or managed products, or updating the products on large number of systems, we recommend that you enable peer-to-peer client on all systems. This limits the network traffic in the local subnet during the deployment or update.
Peer-to-peer communication is enabled by default. If your organization restricts peer-to-peer communication, disable the peer-to-peer policy.
We recommend that you configure the Max disk quota always greater than the size of sum of commonly used application and updates (For example, if the DAT file size is 150 MB and the average product update size is 100 MB, the peer-to-peer disk quota should be more than 250 MB).
