Increasing live display scan speed 15 October 2015, 07:14 |
I am using live display to monitor a network segment with about ~2000 addresses. I can scan this segment in less than 60 seconds when running a normal scan, even with quite a few queries set up. However when using live display the scanner slows down considerably and takes close to 20 seconds on each address. I have tried tweaking ping timeouts and thread count but nothing seems to speed it up.
Is there a way to increase the speed of the live display so that it crawls through the network faster?
Thanks!

Yes, we've just added multi-threaded background scanning in the latest builds.
It uses 1/10th of the maximum thread limit, so with the default setting of 50 threads, background scanning would be performed with 5 threads. That would be 5x times faster than before.
It now also respects the Scan in random order setting and if set, devices are scanned in background in a random order.
