What is Intelligent Packet Re-Transmission in PCoIP Protocol?
PCoIP Protocol uses UDP protocol similar to other real-time protocols (voice-over-IP, interactive video conferencing etc).  This is done to minimize the overhead associated with TCP protocol.  However, reliable transmission of data is important for remote …
Can I constrain PCoIP bandwidth usage to fit my network?
The maximum PCoIP bandwidth usage an be configured per a session. When restricting the maximum PCoIP session bandwidth, the frame rate and image quality maybe reduced due to the reduction in bandwidth. For limiting PCoIP Zero Clients see: PCoIP Zero …
What happens when a PCoIP Packet is lost in transit?
When a PCoIP packet is lost or considered lost, the PCoIP protocol makes an intelligent decision on if the packet should be re-transmitted. PCoIP packets containing audio and sometimes imaging may never be re-transmitted as the next sample of audio or new …
What congestion avoidance should be used in network switches and routers?
Weighted Random Early Discard (WRED) should be configured as the congestion avoidance, or congestion management method. WRED gradually drops packets while considering IP precedence, as network devices become congested. This allows PCoIP protocol …
Is there any bandwidth consumed when a PCoIP device is idle?
The idle bandwidth depends on the PCoIP host type. Below are the idle bandwidths for different host types: HP Anyware 2.12 and newer, the idle bandwidth consumed is 1-2 kbps. VMware View 4.5 (using PCoIP Software 3.5) and earlier, the idle bandwidth …
Why is there sudden poor video performance after a VMware view or VMWare tools update?
Updates of VMware Tools include a SVGA driver which may not be compatible with the version of VMware View. Hardware version 7 and above support a new svga driver. Ensure you have the ESXI matching version of VMware tools installed and perform the update …
Why is the image quality reduced for a couple seconds right after a session is connected?
This is expected behaviour during the first couple seconds when a PCoIP session is established and is caused by the PCoIP device's bandwidth management algorithm. The algorithm continuously optimizes the amount of network traffic a PCoIP device generates …
