The BigFix team has made the decision to deprecate the Dynamic Bandwidth
Throttling feature in the BigFix Platform.
In complex and varied networking environments, which is increasingly
frequent nowadays, dynamic bandwidth calculations are not always reliable
or even predictable. Because of this, enabling dynamic throttling in BigFix
may lead to unexpected results.
Dynamic throttling usage within BigFix  has been discouraged for a long
time, in favor of Static Throttling.
Also with the advent of features like PeerNest, that is being improved
release after release for efficiency and reliability, bandwidth needs are
better managed, and we think Dynamic Bandwidth Throttling  is no longer a
relevant feature for the product.
Because of the above, the fixlets to configure Dynamic Bandwidth Throttling
will be removed from BES Support site shortly, and the product
documentation updated.
If you want to report any feedback on this, please reach out directly to
alessandro.dinia at hcl-software.com.

Thank you
