Based on the analysis done here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XCLdBHe8NoIf--NZ8Z89K9oPioT3CeK8Rbbrmzxtp_w/edit#heading=h.nu09u9nq44wt

The warm up settings are critical to providing stable outputs. It has been determined that the warm up interval should be larger than the maximum message size, because messages burst traffic into the network. A suggestion is to verify that the warm up interval is >= 2x the maximum message size.
