Agentless scanning bandwidth usage varies based on several factors:
- Network scan type (WMI, SSH, SNMP, etc.)
- Number of assets being scanned
- Scanning frequency
- Amount of data collected
For a typical Windows device scan using WMI:
- Initial scan: ~100-200 KB per asset
- Subsequent scans: ~50-100 KB per asset (only changes are transmitted)
These are approximate values, and actual bandwidth usage may vary depending on your specific environment and configuration.
