  • Up to 220 Mbps AES-128 (not encapsulated)
  • Up to 500 Mbps AES-128/AES-256|
    (not encapsulated/encapsulated)

    FW 4.1.0 and beyond will default to ESP/UDP encapsulated. Earlier releases default to
    un-encapsulated.
  • Performance will vary based on client hardware capabilities

    ** AES-128 negotiated when all options selected

 * - VDI (VM) - PCoIP Software Host can be:

  • VM with PCoIP Software Host such as VMware View and Desktone

** - The resulting negotiated encryption, between host and client endpoints when all available encryption options are selected

 

Notes:

  • Salsa is no longer used in Tera2 devices as it is slower than the enhanced performance of Tera2 AES encryption
  • If administrators disable AES-128 then the endpoint cannot support sessions through the View Security Server with the PCoIP Connection Manager (can use 256 on Tera2 hardware)
