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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Why is the image quality reduced for a couple seconds right after a session is connected?
This is expected behaviour during the first couple seconds when a PCoIP session is established and is caused by the PCoIP device's bandwidth management algorithm. The algorithm continuously optimizes the amount of network traffic a PCoIP device generates …
