While these measurements were taken on isolated features, it cannot be deduced that running

multiple features simultaneously results in a linear sum of their traffic impact. HP Web Jetadmin uses a

centralized data structure and device data can be shared between the features without HP Web

Jetadmin having to poll every time data is required. HP Web Jetadmin should be independently tested

in any given environment in order to determine network traffic impact.
