Low replication speed between Netbackup domains

Good afternoon!
There is a problem. There is a low data transfer rate between the main Netbackup domain and the remote Netbackup domain.
The transfer rate is approximately 5-10% of the total channel bandwidth.
Low speed is observed when performing backup vmware, file system, and, finally, -auto image replication.
The probable cause of low speed through the data transfer channel is latency.
Perhaps colleagues have experience working with a channel that has high latencies?
What transport and application level parameters are applied, including?
What set of Multi-Threaded Agent parameters do colleagues use?
Please share your experience.
For information. Parameters for nbd transport, which are applied on media servers:
\Common Files\VERITAS\VxMS\Shared\VDDK\bin\VixDiskLib.ini
vixDiskLib.nfcAio.Session.BufSizeIn64KB = 16
vixDiskLib.nfcAio.Session.BufCount = 4

  • Hi,

    Have you seen any traffic from target domain to the source one? Please monitor the bandwitdh usage during replication.

      Thanks for the answer.
      I'll add some information.
      The channel load is 25%. Sometimes it increases.
      A single replication or backup/restore session does not get all the free bandwidth.
      The solution may be multi-threaded data transfer.
