revalidation process takes place too often, this pop-up window may become
annoying and significantly lower the user's productivity. The recommended value
is 14400 seconds (4 hours) or more.
The router or the
the current policy compliance status changes. This activity introduces additional
network traffic, which becomes larger as the defined time intervals shorten.
However, frequent polling enables quick disconnection from a client that
becomes noncompliant from the network. Depending on the network architecture
(number of clients connected to one NAD, network bandwidth, current network
load, and so on) the status query period should not be shorter than 30 seconds.
2.4 Implementation flow
IBM best practice in implementation of this concept in an enterprise-wide
deployment has been identified by the following project phases that would assist
in a smooth transition to the new environment:
