What does "IPC: Frame encode took xxx ms so far. Dropping down the quality to index x." in the log files indicate?
Answer: In this case, the imaging encoder has determined that too many bits were being sent in the upper portion of the frame (i.e. flooding) which causes the frame to take longer to encode, and therefore appears unresponsive to the user (> 750 ms to …
Will out of order packets impact a PCoIP session?
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 …
Why do I get poor performance on an MPLS network?
There are a number of configuration requirements for using PCoIP protocol on an MPLS network.  Prioritize PCoIP packets as a best practice Avoid packet loss Avoid out-of-order packets PCoIP protocol may consider out-of-order packets as lost if the data …
How do I ensure a fair allocation of bandwidth between multiple PCoIP sessions?
The PCoIP congestion avoidance algorithms are designed to ensure a fair allocation of bandwidth between multiple PCoIP sessions on the same network. There may be some networks where this doesn't work as well. There is also an associated time constant for …
How does PCoIP share bandwidth over the network?
The BW Limit is dynamically calculated and represents the bandwidth the PCoIP session estimates to be available given the network conditions. The calculation takes into account the existing bandwidth usage, packet loss and any high latency spikes. The …
When the network experiences periods of high congestion what will happen to the users experience?
PCoIP will adjust to the network conditions to deliver the best PCoIP experience possible, for the given network conditions, for the user. During periods of congestion the user experience: A blurry or compressed image Momentary block screens Stuttering …
