Is there a package size limit in CA Client Automation? How long will it take to deploy a 1GB package to an agent via a 64KB network link?

Resolution

There is no package file size limit in CA Client Automation.
Large deployments of 10GB size package have been tested successfully in customer environments.

The job completion time to deploy a 1GB size package to an agent connected via a 64KB line will take around 5-6 hours, but it depends on how free the network bandwidth is.
There is a simple calculator which may help calculate the transfer rate roughly:
