What is range of typical Controller traffic? - E1.20 RDM (Remote Device Management) Protocol Forums

It's going to vary widely. During discovery, systems startup, or user configuration activities you could see several hundred requests per second. During normal operation, one RDM request per second is a common behavior in my experience, but some controllers don't send any background traffic unless the user specifically does something that requires it.

Nearly all of this background traffic will be GETs and background discovery. SETs typically only happen in response to the user deliberately making a change.
