[THIN] Excessive Bandwidth usage with Linux clients

Hello Group!.

I am playing with diskless Linux clients (w/ ICA Client 7.0) that I have set
up for testing and found they are using a lot of network bandwidth.

I'm talking about period chunks of 60-100MB across the LAN.

Also an overall pattern of much greater net utilization than with 9x
clients.

I have disabled all device remapping but this is still occurring.

I am running MFXP1.0 FR2.

Other test clients running Win9X seem to work fine.

I have also isolated that it has nothing to do with the TFTP server on the
Linux side - purely CTX-CLIENT traffic.

Has anybody tried this before?  Anything like this happen for you.

Any help much appreciated.

Allan.

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you
know, in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest
constraint to scaling up?! Get this free white paper to understand the
real constraints & how to overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather
than buying more servers.
