Device Manager Communication and Optimization

All devices operate behind Network Address Translation (NAT) and utilize keep-alive messages to maintain connectivity. The system is designed to support up to 30,000 devices, with a default keep-alive interval of 10 minutes. To optimize the response time for actions performed on the devices, it is possible to reduce the keep-alive interval. The recommended keep-alive interval depends on the number of devices in the system: For deployments with up to 5,000 devices, a keep-alive interval of one minute is recommended. For every additional 5,000 devices, add two minutes to the keep-alive interval. The maximum recommended keep-alive interval is 10 minutes for deployments with 30,000 devices.

By adjusting the keep-alive interval based on the number of devices in the system, it is possible to optimize the response time for device actions. However, it is crucial to consider the trade-offs between response time and network overhead. Regular monitoring and performance tuning should be conducted to ensure the system operates efficiently and meets the desired performance goals.
