The ADSM Performance Tuning Guide V3R1, at the end of Chapter 5 under
"Estimating Throughput for Other Environments", does have a small (and I do
mean small) chart of the expected throughput rates for the various
topologies. Bear in mind that there rates are maximums, and your
environment's individual tuning, the types of NICs you use, and other
factors weigh heavily on how much data ADSM will be able to push/pull
through the network to its server. Use the previous section called
"Estimating Throughput" to determine where your environment will fall into
the chart's expected rates.

Hope this helps.

I realize that there are many tools that allow the monitoring of network
traffic but, We presently have now in-house. I have been asked to furnish
the network bandwitdth requirements for ADSM nightly Backup and am unaware
of any written document for ADSM that has this information. Does anyone out
there now of any such publication for ADSM.
