Aspera FASP transport has no theoretical throughput limit. In addition to network
capacity, transfer rates can be limited by user-configured rate settings and the resources
of the local and remote machines. You can configure bandwidth usage limits and the number of
concurrent FASP transfers that are allowed by Desktop Client.
