Can priorities be assigned to SharePlex and other applications for bandwidth usage over a network ?
It is not possible to assign such priorities at the OS or Shareplex level. All traffic are created equal if there is no network switch or router to control the flow.
But in Shareplex we can control the TCP window sizing by configuring the parameters SP_XPT_SNDBUF and SP_COP_RCVBUF on source and target respectively.
However, this will result in constricting the bandwidth usage by Shareplex at all times. Moreover, it will only affect Shareplex and not other applications/processes. So this solution will not help in prioritizing the bandwidth usage by Shareplex and other processes running on the server.
