1.6.6.1 Device Bandwidth Limit
The Device Bandwidth Limit parameter defines the maximum bandwidth peak for the
PCoIP system. The bandwidth setting on the Host side defines the bandwidth from the
Host to the Portal (e.g. graphics data), while the Bandwidth setting on the Portal side
defines the bandwidth from the Portal to Host (e.g. USB data). The usable range of the
device bandwidth is 3 to 220 Mbps.
The PCoIP processor will continue to use only the bandwidth required up to the Device
Bandwidth Limit maximum. The PCoIP processor will dynamically adjust the bandwidth in
response to network congestion.
Setting the Device Bandwidth Limit to 0 configures the PCoIP processor to adjust the
bandwidth depending on network congestion. If there is no congestion, there will be no
limit on bandwidth—i.e. the processor will use the maximum rate available.
We recommended setting the Device Bandwidth Limit to the limit of the network
connected to the Portal and Host.
See Section 4.3 Bandwidth and Image Configuration Example for an example on setting
the Device Bandwidth Limit.
Note: The Device Bandwidth Limit is applied immediately after the administrator selects
Apply.
1.6.6.2 Device Bandwidth Target
The Device Bandwidth Target parameter defines the soft limit on the network bandwidth
during periods of congestion (packet loss). When the network experiences congestion,
the device bandwidth is reduced rapidly to the target value and more slowly below this
value. This allows for a more even distribution of bandwidth between users sharing a
congested network link. Administrators should have a good understanding of the network
topology before setting this to a non-zero value.
Note: The Device Bandwidth Target is applied when a new PCoIP session is started
after selecting Apply.
1.6.7 RDP
The RDP webpage allows the administrator to configure device settings specific to the
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
