Scale limits for Workflows deployment

NSP supports up to 64 asynchronous tasks. When the limit is exceeded, additional tasks are queued and will get executed as any of the executing workflows completes.

NSP supports up to 15 synchronous workflows. Synchronous workflows consume more resources and must be limited in parallel executions.

The following table presents scaling dimensions of stored executions for deployment of the NSP's Workflows function.

Scale limits for Enterprise adapters

The NSP Enterprise adapter artifacts, which provide SNMP adaptation for standard SNMP devices, can manage up to 50,000 devices in a large-scale NSP deployment. Devices are discovered at /24 subnet (250NEs at once), however, multiple discovery rules can be initiated in sequence. For large deployments, the user should stagger the discovery rule execution to limit the impact on the system. Enterprise adapters utilize the MDM framework to manage basic functions such as discovery, fault management, and port inventory.

Note: The above figures represent the discovery of 7705 SAR NEs with minimal configurations, and do not account for more complex configurations such as services.

 

Scale limits for REST tokens

The supported maximum rate for granting REST tokens is one token every 2.5 seconds.
