Since Delivery Optimization is on by default, you'll be able to monitor the value either through the Windows Settings for ‘Delivery Optimization’, using Delivery Optimization PowerShell [cmdlets.](waas-delivery-optimization-setup.md), and/or via the [Windows Update for Business Report.](../update/wufb-reports-workbook.md) experience in Azure.

In the case where Delivery Optimization isn't working in your environment, it's important to investigate to get to the root of the problem. We recommend a test environment be created to easily evaluate typical devices to ensure Delivery Optimization is working properly. For starters, ‘Scenario 1: Basic Setup’ should be created to test the use of Delivery Optimization between two machines. This scenario is designed to eliminate any noise in the environment to ensure there's nothing preventing Delivery Optimization from working on the devices. Once you have a baseline, you can expand the test environment for more sophisticated tests.

## Expectations and Goals
|
||||
|
||||
The focus of the testing scenarios in this article is primarily centered on demonstrating the Delivery Optimization policies centered around the successful downloading of bytes using P2P. More specifically, the goal will be to show peer to peer is working as expected, using the following criteria:
|
||||
|
||||
* Peers can find each other (for example on the same LAN / subnet / Group – matching your 'Download Mode' policy).
|
||||
* Peers can find each other (for example on the same LAN / subnet / Group - matching your 'Download Mode' policy).
|
||||
* Files are downloading in the expected 'Download Mode' policy setting (validates connectivity to DO cloud, HTTP, and local configs).
|
||||
* At least some downloads happening via P2P (validates connectivity between peers).

### Delivery Optimization is a Hybrid P2P Platform
|

|

* Delivery Optimization’s hybrid approach to downloading from multiple sources (HTTP and peer) in parallel is especially critical for large-scale environments, constantly assessing the optimal source from which to deliver the content. In conjunction, the distribution of content cache, across participating devices, contributes to Delivery Optimization’s ability to find bandwidth savings as more peers become available.

|
||||
|
||||
* At the point a download is initiated, the DO client starts downloading from the HTTP source and discovering peers simultaneously. With a smaller file, most of the bytes could be downloaded from an HTTP source before connecting to a peer, even though peers are available. With a larger file and quality LAN peers, it might reduce the HTTP request rate to near zero, but only after making those initial requests from HTTP.

The distributed nature of the Delivery Optimization technology is obvious when you rerun the ‘Get-DeliveryOptimizationStatus’ cmdlet on each of the test machines. For each, there's a new value populated for the ‘BytesToLanPeers’ field. This demonstrates that as more peers become available, the requests to download bytes are distributed across the peering group and act as the source for the peering content. Each peer plays a role in servicing the other.
