When should the Package Download Policy be set to 0 on the Scalability Server?

Collaborating Agent or a Neighbor Aware Agent request Scalability Server for a list of agents on which a particular package is available. Scalability Server checks the package download policy. If the package download policy is set to 0, then the neighboring agents can download the package from any collaborating agent in the same subnet or from the Scalability server, if Scalability Server is in the same subnet of the requesting agent. The Neighboring agents should download the package from the same subnet or the job will be postponed.

If we configure the Package Download Policy download method 0, then administrator has to identify the different subnets in the network, and accordingly ensure that collaborative agents are existing and are available in each and every subnet.
