Acronis Snap Deploy components communicate to each other using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 
cryptographic protocol. Encryption starts on the first (earliest) stage of connection attempt, so all data 
transferred in the next steps (including data required for client authentication) is encrypted.  
 
Once Acronis Snap Deploy components are installed, encrypted communication between the 
components is enabled automatically. The deploy stream, being transferred via the communication 
protocol, is not encrypted. 
 
1.3.2  Multicast TTL and network bandwidth throttling 
 
Deployment configuration has a parameter that specifies time to live (TTL) for multicast packets. Using 
this setting, you can limit the distribution of multicast packets via gateways.  
 
By setting the permitted bandwidth you can limit the network usage during deployment.
