How much should be the bandwidth (Mb/s) or (MB/s) when servicenow discovery trying to fetch data from a Windows 2016 server?

Hi,

We are implementing Servicenow Horizontal Discovery. We need to know how much should be the approximate bandwidth or speed of the network while discovering a windows server.

Please specify in Mb/s or MB/s.

Hi Doug,

I have gone through that link. But am still not confirmed If the values are MB/second.

As it's saying 3.7 MB/second for windows 2016 or 2.3 MB/second for windows 2012.

As mostly network speeds are written in Mb/second (Mega bit/ second).

Or Servicenow is saying the whole amount of data will be transferred is 3.7 MB . Depending on the network speed it can take 2 mins or 20 mins?

Can you confirm?

Will be really helpful.

Yes, those numbers are total data transferred where speed is relative to your environment. My network may be faster than yours so no way to chart that out. You might consider using Wireshark and other measuring tools and do your own collection to identify the time it takes in your specific environment.
