Network channel
Based on our statistical data, for the stable operation of Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response, we recommend providing the following network channel throughput:
- For average load conditions: a full-duplex channel with a bandwidth of at least 2 Mbps for 1000 assets.
- For peak load conditions: a full-duplex channel with a bandwidth of at least 4 Mbps for 1000 assets.
These bandwidth values are approximate, as the necessary bandwidth greatly depends on the type of asset load generating telemetry events.
