Network Bandwidth between Master and Replica sites

[alonkar-2]

Hi All,

I am looking for a guide which can help in deciding the required network bandwidth between the master and replica sites.

Has anyone gone through such guide?

Thanks,

Hello Amit,

Have you checked the PTC Windchill Vaulting and Replication planning technical brief document?

There must be a PTC document on Windchill Performance for WAN CAD-users. I can't find it, but I found my summary based on it:

- bandwidth: increase of response time flattens starting from 10Mbps bandwidth

- latency: correlation with response time is linear, under 275ms should be OK

- network congestion: response time start to drop starting from 75% congestion

- packet loss: up to 1% isn't noticable for the CAD-users.

The document focused also on the geographical location of the sites, and possible measures to be taken.

You can find the EDC documentation on the PTC TS Reference Documentation site; in addition to the technical brief that Syed referenced, there are documents related to WAN performance and Creo data management benchmarks:
