Tweaks for Citrix client

[Jan Rockstedt]

Hi,

We are about to test Citrix with WAAS.

I can see that the citrix is fully optimized.

But is there any tweaks for the client or the server so it can perform faster?

We have an latency over 380ms.

Jan,

You will want to make sure that any encryption or compression done on the Citrix client/server side is disabled.  Otherwise LZ and DRE will be ineffective, since you can't compress already compressed data, and won't be able to recognize redundant bit patterns in encrypted data.

Thank you Mike,

Any benefit for ICA or RDP to upgrade?

We are still using 4.2.3c

We will test RDP and ICA to see what is best performance with 380 ms latency.

Jan,

There are no changes in 4.3 related to ICA or RDP that I'm aware of.  We don't have an accelerator for ICA or RDP, so only changes to TFO,DRE, or LZ would affect ICA and RDP traffic.

Mike
