Optimizing a Data Transfer › Phase 2: Transfer Property Resolution › Communication Settings

Communication Settings

If an appropriate interface cannot be found, then the communication settings of the individual machine objects are used to determine how the transfer is carried out. When a transfer initiates, properties of the initiating machine object determine the throttle factor to use, while the properties of the responding machine object determine the protocol. The parcel size is determined by the lower parcel size of the two computers in the transfer.

Depending on the settings of the machine object's network properties and the configuration of the links, you can use intermediate computers during the transfer. The initiating and responding computers, and subsequently the network properties referenced, change during the course of the transfer.
