### Local proxy
When using a proxy, you’ll want to bypass calls from the Delivery Optimization service (*.prod.do.dsp.mp.microsoft.com), as any altering of the public IP address will prevent peering from working properly. For downloads from HTTP sources, Delivery Optimization can use the automatic proxy discovery capability of WinHttp to handle communication with the proxy server. It’s important to know, Delivery Optimization uses byte range requests, so you’ll want to make sure your proxy allows this capability.. [Learn more](delivery-optimization-proxy.md) about Delivery Optimization with a proxy server.

### Peer-to-peer setup
### Peering setup
#### Define peer groups
##### Local area network (LAN)
To limit a peer group to your LAN, choose [‘DODownloadMode’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#download-mode) (1), LAN-mode. This will include any devices that share the same public IP address when they connect to the Internet (behind the same NAT) in a single peer group.

##### Wide area network (WAN)
To achieve peer groups across NATs within the same site, over the WAN, or to have more control in your local environment, use Download Mode ‘2’, Group-mode. Group download mode allows you to define a unique GUID Group ID or leverage existing “boundaries” in your enterprise with the [‘DOGroupIDSource’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-the-source-of-group-ids) setting to identify a peer group.

##### GroupIDSource default behavior
There are several options for identifying your Group ID using the [‘DOGroupIDSource’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-the-source-of-group-ids). The default behavior, when the [‘DOGroupID’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#group-id) or [‘DOGroupIDSource’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-the-source-of-group-ids) policies are not set, is to determine the Group ID using AD Site (1), Authenticated domain SID (2), or Microsoft Entra tenant ID (5). More information on all [‘DOGroupIDSource’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-the-source-of-group-ids) setting options available.

More information on all [DOGroupIDSource](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-the-source-of-group-ids) setting options available.
> [!NOTE]
> If your peer group spans across NATs, the Teredo service will be used on port 3544.
##### Restrict peer selection
If your environment requires a more granular approach, you can use the Restrict Peer Discovery setting alongside the Download Mode to achieve more control. For example, if you have several different subnets behind the same NAT but want to limit your peer groups to a single subnet, choose [‘DODownloadMode’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#download-mode) (1) and [‘DORestrictPeerSelection’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-a-method-to-restrict-peer-selection)(Subnet). This setting can be used in conjunction with any of the peer-related Download Modes (1’, 2’, or ‘3’).

This setting can be used with any of the peer-related Download Modes (1, 2, or 3).
### Non-peering options
There are two valid Download Modes that do not leverage the peer-to-peer functionality to deliver content; Download Modes (0) and (99). Download Mode (0) provides hash checks of the requested content and allows for quick detection and recovery of corrupted data due to the use of piece level hash checks. Download Mode (99) will provide a reliable download experience over HTTP from the download's original source or Microsoft, with no additional checks.

### Peering with VPN
By default, if Delivery Optimization detects a VPN, peering will not be used. To enable this behavior, use the [‘DOAllowVPNPeerCaching’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#enable-peer-caching-while-the-device-connects-via-vpn) policy. The Delivery Optimization Client looks in the network adapter’s ‘Description’ and ‘FriendlyName’ strings to determine VPN usage. To allow greater flexibility for VPN identification use the [‘DOVpnKeywords’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#vpn-keywords) to add descriptors for a particular VPN. Also related, there is a [‘DODisallowCacheServerDownloadsOnVPN*’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#disallow-cache-server-downloads-on-vpn) policy to prevent downloads from a cache server while on a VPN connection.

Delivery Optimization is designed to perform best in a large-scale environment with many devices. Depending on the size of the environment, you should evaluate the value of the [‘DOMinFileSizeToCache’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#minimum-peer-caching-content-file-size) to optimize peering.

Depending on the size of the environment, you should evaluate the value of the [DOMinFileSizeToCache](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#minimum-peer-caching-content-file-size) to optimize peering.
### Cache file size
Content peering has a limited number of slots available at any given time. By default, only content files that are 50MB or larger can be used for peering. In an environment with more than 30 devices, change the [‘DOMinFileSizeToCache’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#minimum-peer-caching-content-file-size) to a lower value (10MB), to have more content available for peering, which can be distributed among many devices. For an even larger number of devices (>100) you can raise this setting to (1MB).

### Mobile devices
By default, peer-to-peer capabilities are not enabled for devices using a battery. If there are many mobile devices in your environment, consider enabling the [‘DOMinBatteryPercentageAllowedToUpload’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#allow-uploads-while-the-device-is-on-battery-while-under-set-battery-level) policy to 60%, to use peering while on battery.

Looking to improve efficiency? Some of the most powerful settings you can change that could have a significant impact within your environment include:
* Help optimize peer connection over HTTP connections using the [‘DOMinBackgroundQoS’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#minimum-background-qos) policy. A good value for this is something lower than the average download speed seen in your network. For example, if your average speed is 1000KB/s, set this policy to 500KB/s.
* Improve chances of downloading from peers and/or cache server by delaying the time DO attempts to make connections before falling back to the HTTP source. The set of policies include: [‘DODelayBackgroundDownloadFromHttp’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#delay-background-download-from-http-in-secs), [‘DODelayForegroundDownloadFromHttp’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#delay-foreground-download-from-http-in-secs), [‘DelayCacheServerFallbackBackground*’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#delay-background-download-cache-server-fallback-in-secs), [‘DelayCacheServerFallbackForeground*’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#delay-foreground-download-cache-server-fallback-in-secs). For applicable scenarios (improving efficiency from peers or cache server) a good starting point is ’60 - 90’ seconds for the background settings and ’30 – 60’ for foreground settings.
* Reduce any disruptions and help to manage the timing of network usage by utilizing the business hours policies, [‘DOSetHoursToLimitForegroundDownloadBandwidth’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#set-business-hours-to-limit-foreground-download-bandwidth) and [‘DOSetHoursToLimitBackgroundDownloadBandwidth’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#set-business-hours-to-limit-background-download-bandwidth).
* Manage network usage as a percentage or absolute value (Note: The absolute policies are recommended in low bandwidth environments). These policies include: [‘DOPercentageMaxForegroundBandwidth’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#maximum-foreground-download-bandwidth)/[’DOPercentageMaxBackgroundBandwidth’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#maximum-background-download-bandwidth), [‘DOMaxBackgroundDownloadBandwidth’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#maximum-background-download-bandwidth-in-kbs), and [‘DOMaxForegroundDownloadBandwidth’](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#maximum-foreground-download-bandwidth-in-kbs).
