Maximum latency between DCE and DCO

Hi,

Based on the experience, what is the maximun admitted latency between the DCE & DCO servers?

Thanks,

I was sure that somewhere there was a official document stating the latency requirements for DCE but have been unable to find it..

In my experience there is no fixed value for maximum latency. We have DCE servers that successfully monitor 100's of devices in different countries with ping response times of between 20ms and 450ms. The sites with higher latency have different scan settings in DCE.

I would say, (more from feeling than actual facts) that if you have a site with high latency and a large number of devices on that site then you may get spurious lost comms issues more often. Netbotz devices (not the 200/250) appear to be more susceptible to spurious lost comms.

We have one site with probably 300 devices and ping response of 200-300ms with no issues.

Not sure this is a definite answer but hope it helps..

Thanks for the answer, it helps me a lot.

If someone has the official document link it would be great, since I was also looking for it without success.
