# Policy CSP - DeliveryOptimization

>[!TIP]
> These are ADMX-backed policies and require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see [Understanding ADMX-backed policies](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md).
> 
> You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For an example SyncML, refer to [Enabling a policy](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md#enabling-a-policy).
> 
> The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see [CDATA Sections](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-cdata-sect).

Specifies the maximum size in GB of Delivery Optimization cache. This policy overrides the DOMaxCacheSize policy. The value 0 (zero) means "unlimited" cache. Delivery Optimization will clear the cache when the device is running low on disk space.

The default value is 10.

This policy allows you to configure one or more Delivery Optimization in Network Cache servers through a custom DHCP Option. One or more values can be added as either fully qualified domain names (FQDN) or IP addresses.  To add multiple values, separate each FQDN or IP address by commas.

<!--/ADMXMapped-->
<!--SupportedValues-->
The following are the supported values:  
- 1 = DHCP Option ID.
- 2 = DHCP Option ID Force.

When DHCP Option ID (1) is set, the client will query DHCP Option ID 235 and use the returned FQDN or IP value as Cache Server Hostname value. This policy will be overridden when the [Cache Server Hostname](#deliveryoptimization-docachehost) policy has been set.

When DHCP Option ID Force (2) is set, the client will query DHCP Option ID 235 and use the returned FQDN or IP value as Cache Server Hostname value, and will override the Cache Server Hostname policy if it has been set.

> [!Note]
> If the DHCP Option ID is formatted incorrectly, the client will fall back to the [Cache Server Hostname](#deliveryoptimization-docachehost) policy value if that value has been set.

This policy allows you to delay the use of an HTTP source in a background download that is allowed to use peer-to-peer.

After the max delay is reached, the download will resume using HTTP, either downloading the entire payload or complementing the bytes that could not be downloaded from peers. Note that a download that is waiting for peer sources, will appear to be stuck for the end user. The recommended value is 1 hour (3600).

This policy allows you to delay the use of an HTTP source in a foreground (interactive) download that is allowed to use peer-to-peer.

After the max delay has reached, the download will resume using HTTP, either downloading the entire payload or complementing the bytes that could not be downloaded from Peers.

Note that a download that is waiting for peer sources, will appear to be stuck for the end user.

The following list shows the supported values:

-   0 – HTTP only, no peering.
-   1 (default) – HTTP blended with peering behind the same NAT.
-   2 – HTTP blended with peering across a private group. Peering occurs on devices in the same Active Directory Site (if it exists) or the same domain by default. When this option is selected, peering will cross NATs. To create a custom group use Group ID in combination with Mode 2.
-   3 – HTTP blended with Internet peering.
-   99 - Simple download mode with no peering. Delivery Optimization downloads using HTTP only and does not attempt to contact the Delivery Optimization cloud services. Added in Windows 10, version 1607.
-   100 - Bypass mode. Do not use Delivery Optimization and use BITS instead. Added in Windows 10, version 1607. Note that this value is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

This Policy specifies an arbitrary group ID that the device belongs to. Use this if you need to create a single group for Local Network Peering for branches that are on different domains or are not on the same LAN. Note that this is a best effort optimization and should not be relied on for an authentication of identity.

> [!NOTE]
> You must use a GUID as the group ID.

<!--Description-->
Set this policy to restrict peer selection to a specific source. Available options are: 1 = AD Site, 2 = Authenticated domain SID, 3 = DHCP Option ID, 4 = DNS Suffix, 5 = AAD.

When set, the Group ID will be assigned automatically from the selected source.

If you set this policy, the GroupID policy will be ignored.

The options set in this policy only apply to Group (2) download mode. If Group (2) isn't set as Download mode, this policy will be ignored.  

For option 3 - DHCP Option ID, the client will query DHCP Option ID 234 and use the returned GUID value as the Group ID.

Starting with Windows 10, version 1903, you can use the Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Tenant ID as a means to define groups. To do this, set the value of DOGroupIdSource to 5.

Specifies any value between 1 and 100 (in percentage) to allow the device to upload data to LAN and Group peers while on battery power. Uploads will automatically pause when the battery level drops below the set minimum battery level. The recommended value to set is 40 (for 40%) if you allow uploads on battery.

The default value is 0. The value 0 (zero) means "not limited" and the cloud service default value will be used.
