Does the binary delta compression apply to both Internet as well as local sources?

I have my configured my computers to use local shares rather than CDN but I wanted to confirm if the binary delta compression applies even when updating from a local share.

Thank You,

Hi Leroy:

Are you referring to Office update package? If this is the case, then the binary delta compression might not be able to apply to updating from a local share.

Per my understanding, the condition of using this technology is only used if youre updating from the most recent version of Office build. There will be a comparison between the latest update and Office client. Therefore updating from a local share. Wont trigger binary delta compression.

Starting in July   2014, the update process automatically uses a technology called binary delta   compression to help reduce the size of the files downloaded even more. But,   this technology is only used if youre updating from the most recent version   of Office 365 ProPlus. For example, binary delta compression is used if   youre updating from the June to the July version, but not if youre updating   from the May to the July version.

Hi Chloe,

Is it possible to verify that for sure?

I will be running a packet capture to test but I wanted to know if there was an official test done.

Thank You,

Hi,

I'm not sure if there was any Official test regarding this.

However, do please share your test result if you done your testing.

Thanks for your understanding.
