Re: Terminal Services Setup

in gerneral the tcp-header has the so called QOS bit field, which tells the routers how to handle the packet. e.g.: maximize throughput, minimize latency. the latter is what you will want, but the providers don't care about this field, because they encapsulate the original packets and use a private-header around which controls the routing in their private backbone and to the available peers. since it is business as usual, they will choose the cheapest peer and the lowest utilized backbone. in other words, you have no control over the route (quality of the route) the packets will take!

an approach were to reduce the traffic by reducing the visual experince. no design, no full-drag windows, and so on. this also will reduce the latency, not linear but alil.

citrix offers a so called "local echo option" for their ICA protocol. basicly, the client guesses (knows) what the server will draw to the desktop in response to the sent keyb/mouse events and updates the local desktop immediately. this greatly compensates latency issues in wlan evironments. but i can't tell you much about citrix.

I have been using Terminal Services for myself to do server administration
for several years. I VPN on the firewall and then hit the servers for admin
work.

I have been tasked with creating a proposal for select employees to work
from home which will require file share access, Outlook, and client server
database application. The existing VPN to the desktop is great as long as
it's a good Internet connection on the remote end. However, my concern is
when folks are in a hotel on a shared connection and they simply don't have
the bandwidth my phone will be ringing off the hook with whiners. Is a
terminal services setup the best route on this? What should I look for and
what about setup's for users? Is there some good documentation on setting
this up for users?

Thanks for your thoughts and direction!
