the Maximum Initial Image Quality to 60 was a preferable way of reducing bandwidth

requirements than setting a hard limit on the Device Bandwidth Limit.

Regardless of the Maximum Initial Image Quality setting, the PCoIP system will always

build unchanged regions of the display to a lossless image.

Note: the Minimum Image Quality setting must always be less than or equal to the

Maximum Initial Image Quality setting.

4.3.3 Configuring the Host Bandwidth Limit to 0 Mbps (No

Limit)

In Section 4.3.1, the bandwidth was limited to 25 Mbps with a bandwidth target of 20

Mbps. In this section, the PCoIP default bandwidth and imaging settings are used to take

advantage of the usage characteristics of the group. (The characteristics in this example

are similar to many actual usage groups.) Here the Device Bandwidth Limit and Device

Bandwidth Target are configured to 0 (no limit) to allow more effective bandwidth sharing.

The PCoIP firmware alleviates bandwidth congestion by implementing a bandwidth

adaptation algorithm that strives for fairness on shared networks. The firmware will use

the bandwidth as determined by the Ethernet physical-layer device.

Note: Here it is assumed that very little data is required from the Portal back to the Host

(i.e. USB keyboard and mouse data), and therefore the only the Host bandwidth is

limited. To be complete, the Portal bandwidth limit could also be configured.
