Stating the obvious here, but whats needed is some kind of proxy device which keeps the session locally alive whilst fighting with the ICA session of the satellite uplink... isn't there some clever Cisco devices that do this kind of thing?? Brian -----Original Message----- From: Christopher_Wilson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Christopher_Wilson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 25 September 2003 21:40 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Limits of Latency Hi, list. Is there any documentation from Citrix or another source that sets a bound on how much latency an ICA session will tolerate? I have a few new locations that have recently been set up our WAN/Satellite guy to use a DirectWay satellite connection to the internet then on into Nfuse and my MF 1.8 farm. The problem is that these locations experience frequent disconnects from ICA sessions to the point of rendering Citrix unusable. (No problems surfing mind you.) A ping from them to us returns with a latency of 850-1000ms. The best I remember hearing from this list and elsewhere, latency beyond 300-400ms degrades performance and can cause disconnects. Is this accurate? What is the max latency tolerance by your experience? Also, I have already tweaked the recommended ICA time-out and TCP retransmission settings with no results for this problem. Is there any other tweaking that might help?
