PCoIP will work when packets are becoming out of order between the two PCoIP endpoints. Re-ordering packets on PCoIP endpoints requires that packets are held in a queue/buffer while waiting to receive the packets that need to be put back into order.  With a real-time protocol such as PCoIP, there is a limited amount of time before the packet data becomes stale. PCoIP endpoints incorporate a small re-order buffer, but with excessive packet re-ordering, the re-ordered packets may be considered as lost packets. This packet loss will show up in PCoIP server logs, but will not show as loss in network logs (since the packets were delivered). Refer to this knowledge base article to assistance in Troubleshooting out of order packets impacting the PCoIP protocol?
