Bandwidth: For the SLM to communicate over the network, you will need to have certain MTU settings to be able to send and receive messages over the network.
· SLM Server 8.4 (aspenONE V8.0 through V8.3) requires the MTU to be set at 7512 bytes
· SLM Server 8.5.3 (aspenONE V8.4 through V8.8) requires the MTU to be set at 1432 bytes
· SLM Server 8.6.1 and higher (aspenONE V9 and higher) has a dynamic MTU, and requires an MTU of about 700 bytes
Ping time: SLM requires a ping of 300 ms or less, with 0% loss.
