Hello there, Not so sure about the comment "which would eliminate Citrix's inherent drawbacks"... As a matter of interest have you compared ICA traffic with RDP traffic ? How does it compare ? I presume this solution was tested prior to deployment or are you currently piloting the solution ? Have you also treid reducing the ICA packet size ?

I don't think any further improvement is possible on the configuration. What I'm actually looking for is either an add-on or an alternative solution which would eliminate Citrix's inherent drawbacks.
