<span lang="EN-IN"><font color="#000000" face="Calibri" size="3">In a peer-to-peer setup, endpoints in a subnet coordinate their download activities in order to download binaries only once from the relay, thus reducing the network traffic outside of the subnet.
With this setup, you can facilitate a faster and direct exchange of binaries between endpoints and remove the need for every client to download the same binary from a relay, allowing the removal of dedicated relays from branch offices.

<span lang="EN-IN"><span lang="EN-IN"><font color="#000000" face="Calibri" size="3">The BigFix Query function relies on a UDP based notification where the relay notifies the clients of a new query. Firewalls or NAT may block this notification mechanism. Through
the new persistent connection feature, a persistent connection initiated by the client is used by the relay to manage the UDP based notification. This allows the delivery of any type of notification, thus offering a faster alternative to command polling. A
persistent connected client also acts as a UDP notification forwarder (proxy) for the other clients in the same subnet which can reduce the number of connections and optimize relay performance.
