Hi
Assuming that you do not index or doing other house keeping chores on the
mapped drive through the Network.
The main traffic would be generated when you actually move, or use files.
Otherwise it depends on what is in the cache and whether it is the first
activity since the computers are On.
Some traffic would be generated when you explore the Mapped drive.
Some very short Network burst can be generated in other times.

Hello Nicolas,

Thank you for using newsgroup!

Based on my knowledge, the default timeout of mapped drive traffic is 15
minutes. You may change the default timeout from a command prompt on the
server side for no disconnect:
net config server /autodisconnect:-1

Setting this from the command line may turn off auto tuning for the server
service. So a better solution is to navigate to
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters and set the
Reg_DWord hex value of "autodisconnect"=ffffffff

If "autodisconnect" doesn't exist, you may add it.
