Environment

Router connections governing communication between two hosts were adapted to cause network latency delays of less than 1 millisecond (ms), 100 milliseconds, and 300 milliseconds. Transactions between domain managers were then monitored at each latency level over the router connection.

The specific environment specifications include:

• Host specifications include:

  • 4 GB of RAM

  • 2 CPUs

  • 60 GB of storage

• Static notification set:

  All notifications used in the notification synchronization were included in the aggregate SAM repository. Additional notifications were not added during the test.

• Topology synchronization repository specifications include:

  • 1,200 systems

    • Instances — 17,862 (17,859 added 0 deleted)

    • Relationships — 35,306 (79,398 connections)
