Cisco Agent Desktop Bandwidth Usage
CAD agents are able to log in and log off, change their agent state, handle calls, and send reporting
information to the base servers. The bandwidth requirements for these activities are fairly small but can add
up when many agents are considered.
information to the base servers. The bandwidth requirements for these activities are fairly small but can add
up when many agents are considered.
Table 29 shows the average bandwidth requirements for various numbers of agents. This information is
derived from bandwidth testing and extrapolation of bandwidth data. Because there are many variables that
can affect bandwidth, a configuration that resulted in higher bandwidth usage was chosen to provide near
worst-case scenarios. If the agent’s WAN link meets or exceeds the bandwidth requirements shown in this
table, Cisco Agent Desktop will be able to run without delays in message passing.

The following configuration parameters affect bandwidth and apply to both Table 29 and Table 30:
• Number of skills per agent: 10
• Number of agents per team: 20
• Number of teams: 50
• Number of agent state changes per agent per hour: 10 (Not including state changes due to handling
• Number of agents per team: 20
• Number of teams: 50
• Number of agent state changes per agent per hour: 10 (Not including state changes due to handling
calls)
• Calls per agent per hour: 60
• Team performance messages per team per hour: 8
• Chat messages sent or received per hour: 20
• Average chat message size (in bytes): 40
• Number of calls recorded per hour: 10
• Team performance messages per team per hour: 8
• Chat messages sent or received per hour: 20
• Average chat message size (in bytes): 40
• Number of calls recorded per hour: 10
Note that the bandwidth requirements shown do not include the bandwidth of the RTP streams for the call,
recording, or monitoring sessions, but include only the messaging needed to start and stop the sessions.
