To calculate the size of the TCB hash table for View Connection Servers
Usethefollowingformula.
number of hash table rows on each View Connection Server instance =
((5 * clients) / servers ) + desktops + 20
Where
clients=projectednumberofconcurrentclientconnections
servers=numberofViewConnectionServerinstancesinreplicatedgroup
desktops=numberofViewdesktopsourcesinyourdeployment
