c. Optimize for low speed link—When selected, allows optimization for low-speed connections, such as reducing audio
quality and/or decreasing protocol-specific cache size. Intended for a connection spanning a WAN link or using dialup.
d. Enable session reliability—When enabled, session reliability allows a user to momentarily lose connection to the server

the session is kept alive on the server and is made available to the client upon regaining connectivity. Session reliability is
most relevant for wireless devices.
