We're looking at a number of things to optimise the performance for wireless
links; optimising the ICA template files in WI, setting the MTU on the
client, on the server, setting them so they match and all that jazz.
 
This setting came up - its in the docos for previous versions-but not for
the latest release. I kinda hoped it was just a doco omission 
 
In all honesty don't think its going to help us in our particular
circumstances. In our tests our better performance increases have come more
from tweaking the ica template than this IP low level stuff. And, if we
implemented this sort of setting then we'd have to consider the impact on
internal users of the same servers.

I'm looking at some satellite comms work at the moment, are you setting TCP
window sizes and the like too?

Hi Andrew,
 
My suspicion would be that this is unchanged. I'm not aware of any protocol
changes between PS3 and PS4.

From MPS3's admin guide - 
'By default, ICA sessions connecting over TCP use maximum sized TCP packets
(up to 1460 bytes of data) for the transmission of large amounts of data.
However, there are a small number of network types, usually wireless or
satellite-based networks, where better performance can be achieved by using
smaller packets. You can change the normal maximum size (1460) on a server
by setting the following registry entry: 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\Wds\icawd
\MaxICAPacketLength' 

This is a valid option in FR3/MPS3 but does not appear in the advanced admin
guide for MPS4 

Anyone know if this is a redundant setting in this version  - or has it just
been overlooked? 

Tia.
