[THIN] Re: VSAT optimizations?

Hi,

Loacal text echo and other optimizations may help make the application
useable. Note that local text echo may need a bit of tuning w.r.t. font
handling etc to get it running optimally with your app. In addition, if
you're a big enough customer, the developers may well be willing to help you
to get things right.

Regards,

Rick

No, this is a worldwide VSAT solution that has generally very good ICA
performance, we are looking to optimize the slow response specifically in
relation to latency, i.e. typing hesitations. The general response of
drawing pages, etc. is very good. Again, we are looking for what is possible
over and beyond the standard ICA "point and click" features.

Specifically, what can Expand do for this situation? (good bandwidth, high
latency)

Yikes! I wish you the best of luck with this! I've
played a bit with ICA over satellites and found the
latency to be truly painful, almost entirely unusable
(the bandwidth was decent though).

Whether or not you can make it work in an acceptable
manner has nothing to do with available technology and everything to do with
physics. Geosynchronous satellites are roughly 22,000 miles above the
equator and the speed of radiowaves are a fixed constant. Technology,
unfortunately, cannot change the laws of physics.

Why VSAT anyway? Are they deploying globally? While
most intercontinental WAN circuits are typically slow
perhaps 128k, Expand's products claim to triple ICA
throughput which gives a fairly usable 384k. I'm
actually a bit surprised that I've never seen them
mentioned hin this ng.

Good luck!
