<br>
Now that we have most of people working remotely. Any patching the laptops has to be done over the VPNs. <br>
<br>
Apart from usual bottlenecks - internet, fw, vpn device - what approach should you take? Client based throttling appears quicker than implementing policies at network level? Anyone experience dealing with this willing to share the experience how they did it, throughputs, time taken, any gotchas?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
