Example: Calculating the Size of the TCB Hash Table on Each View Connection Server
For example, you might have 3,000 concurrent client connections, three View Connection Server instances, and
6,000 View desktop sources in your deployment.
For each View Connection Server instance, the result is 11,020, as shown in Table 5-11.
Table 5-11. Example of Calculating the Size of the TCB Hash Table on Each View Connection Server
Configuration Parameter Sample Values
Projected number of concurrent client desktop connections 3,000
Number of View Connection Server instances 3
Number of View desktop sources 6,000
( (5 x clients) / servers ) + desktops + 20 = number of TCB hash
table rows on each server
(5x3,000) / 3 + 6,000 + 20 = 11,020
What to do next
Use the “Worksheets for Calculating Ephemeral Ports and TCB Hash Table Size,” on page 63 to fill in values
for your deployment.
Calculate the Size of the TCB Hash Table for Security Servers
To support a large number of View desktops, you can optimize the size of the TCB hash table on each security
server. Calculate the size in rows.
Procedure
u
Use the following formula.
Number of hash table rows = ( (5 x clients) / security servers ) + 10
Where
clients
Projected number of concurrent client connections
security servers
Number of security servers
Example: Calculating the Size of the TCB Hash Table on Each Security Server
For example, you might have 3,000 concurrent client connections and two security servers in your deployment.
For each security server, the result is 7,510, as shown in Table 5-12.
Table 5-12. Example of Calculating the Size of the TCB Hash Table on Each Security Server
Configuration Parameter Sample Values
Projected number of concurrent client desktop connections 3,000
Number of security servers 2
( (5 x clients) / security servers ) + 10 = number of TCB hash
table rows on each security server
(5x3,000) / 2 + 10 = 7,510
