Really Is that so - I thought it just used UDP.... I do believe multiple protocol options will be coming in the future though. daniel barichello | application delivery specialist | lucida group Level 24, AMP Place, 10 Eagle Street, Brisbane Qld 4000 p 1300 LUCIDA (582 432) | m 0401 700 555 | f 07 3871 2956 daniel.barichello@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <BLOCKED::mailto:daniel.barichello@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | www.lucida.com.au <BLOCKED::http://www.lucida.com.au> ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joe Shonk Sent: Friday, 22 August 2008 8:17 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Citrix Provision Server 5.0 Released to Web! No, PVS uses a protocol called BXP which is block level protocol like iSCSI except it is approximately 4x faster than iSCSI. ICA is a remoting protocol and not a streaming protocol.

Pardon my ignorance, but does Provisioning Server use ICA to deliver the OS and apps? My guess is NOT, because from reading the description it says that app. processing takes place at the desktop. We'd like to use diskless PCs and deliver the OS and apps via the network. Our experience with ICA has been that is slow for real-time apps. _______________________________ Hector Minero NSWCDD K55 -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Kenzig http://thin.ms Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2008 2:29 PM To: THIN Subject: [THIN] Citrix Provision Server 5.0 Released to Web!
