Adjusting Splunk forwarder phonehome / throughput

I was in the process of writing up a few things for a new EDU that is going to be spinning up a larger scale Splunk environment and figured if I was going to the effort it might as well be placed here for others to see. In working with my own environment today I realized I was making some adjustments that I take for granted but that we had to learn and bake in. For this installment these items are focused on the following:

1. Adjusting the forwarder to deployment server phone home interval
2. Allowing forwarders to send more than 256 kbps
