ProctorCache Bandwidth Recommendations for Proctor Cache amp Infrastructure Trial

29Technology Setup and Readiness

Network Bandwidth(per secondper

student)

Proctor Cache Recommendation Infrastructure Trial Information

1000 Kbps (10 Mbps) or greater

You will likely not need to proctor cache test content

School staff should still perform an infrastructure trial for the schools with the least bandwidth to verify that tests can be successfully delivered without the use of proctor caching

ISBE recommends that all schools going without proctor caching conduct infrastructure trials early to verify that that student tests can be downloaded and delivered without issue

gt500 Kbps lt 1000 Kbps (10 Mbps)

School staff may choose to deliver the assessments without proctor cache

School staff should conduct infrastructure trials at the school and simulate the maximum number of concurrent test takers who will test during the window

gt100 Kbps lt 500 Kbps The schoolrsquos network is a marginal candidate for delivering the assessments without the aid of proctor cache

School staff should conduct infrastructure trial that simulates 120 of the maximum number of concurrent test takers who will test during the window

TestNav configurations

bull Formally identify ProctorCache machines (if applicable)

bull List primary and secondary Save Response File (SRF) locations

bull Configurations should be created before test sessions are created and must be created before precaching

bull Note Required fields are indicated with a redasterisk () These fields must be populated whether using caching or not
