the
Maximum Initial Image Quality
to 60 was a preferable way of reducing bandwidth
requirements than setting a hard limit on the
Device Bandwidth Limit
.
Regardless of the
Maximum Initial Image Quality
setting, the PCoIP system will always
build unchanged regions of the display to a lossless image.
Note: the
Minimum Image Quality
setting must always be less than or equal to the
Maximum Initial Image Quality
setting.
4.3.3
Configuring the Host Bandwidth Limit to 0 Mbps (No
Limit)
In Section 4.3.1, the bandwidth was limited to 25 Mbps with a bandwidth target of 20
Mbps. In this section, the PCoIP default bandwidth and imaging settings are used to take
advantage of the usage characteristics of the group. (The characteristics in this example
are similar to many actual usage groups.) Here the
Device Bandwidth Limit
and
Device
Bandwidth Target
are configured to 0 (no limit) to allow more effective bandwidth sharing.
The PCoIP firmware alleviates bandwidth congestion by implementing a bandwidth
adaptation algorithm that strives for fairness on shared networks. The firmware will use
the bandwidth as determined by the Ethernet physical-layer device.
Note: Here it is assumed that very little data is required from the Portal back to the Host
(i.e. USB keyboard and mouse data), and therefore the only the Host bandwidth is
limited. To be complete, the Portal bandwidth limit could also be configured.
