TSM does not have settings for traffic shaping. But knowing which ports
are used by TSM (usually 1500 for data transfers) you can set accordingly
your routers in WAN environment. For LAN environment I expect you would
like to have maximum performance for backups and either use SAN or set-up
a dedicated "backup LAN" segment as Miles pointed.

Subject:        Network Tuning

Hi all

I am fairly new to TSM and I am not sure how network tuning is to be done
in the TSM 4.2.1 environment. My current problem is that I want to be able
to ensure that TSM does not use anymore than say 30 percent of the total
bandwidth. Is there anyone that could give me some help or an idea of
where
to look through the manuals or what settings need to be changed.

thanks in advance

Paul
