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 …
Should I configure "Maximum Initial Image Quality" to 100 if I want lossless still image?
No. Regardless of PCoIP image-quality settings, still images are always lossless. The time it takes to display them depends on your image-quality settings and available network bandwidth. For most situations, it is recommended to use 40 for Minimum Image …

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 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 …
Why am I seeing high bandwidth from the PCoIP Zero Client for audio even though I am not recording anything?
Problem As soon as an audio application starts and samples data from the audio input, PCoIP traffic from the client to host increases significantly and is steady.   Cause Once an application requests audio from the line in or microphone inputs, the PCoIP …
