Can I use Cisco Express Forwarding per-packet load sharing with PCoIP Protocol?
No, Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) per-packet load sharing causes out-of-order packets which is not compatible with real-time protocols such as PCoIP Protocol.  Cisco has similar recommendations against CEF per-packet load sharing when using Voice-over-IP …
What are the priorities for video, audio, and USB PCoIP traffic?
PCoIP technology gives priority to USB and audio, while imaging uses remaining available bandwidth. PCoIP technology optimizes user experience for a given bandwidth by adaptively controlling quality and update rate of the image data, and optionally …
How does PCoIP handle networks with high traffic volumes?
When you plan to use PCoIP on network with high volumes of other traffic that may cause congestion, it is recommended that QoS is implemented to give PCoIP guaranteed bandwidth. PCoIP will adjust to use it's fair share of the network but UDP is typically …
Could the use of two DVI channels be a sources for delay which might cause jitter in a PCoIP Remote Workstation Card configuration?
Using the two DVI channels on a PCoIP Zero Client to PCoIP Remote Workstation Card with the Dual-link DVI connector converter to achieve a 2560x1600 resolution is NOT a source for delay which might cause jitter. The use of two DVI channels could be one of …
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 …
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 …
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 …
