Hi,

I suspect that some switch or router in the path between the server and Sun Ray is dropping UDP packets. the X4100 has Gigabit interfaces and the greatest drop in speed is probably between the X4100 and the WAN.

We had a HP procurve L2 switch with a GIG uplink and eight 100 Mbits fast ethernet ports . With a Sun Ray on the fast ethernet port we saw very poor perfomance and the screen was always "grainy" a few seconds after a major screen redraw. also here utcapture showed a large packetloss for the sunray. Changeing the switch to a unit without a GiG uplink solved the problem. We concluded that this particular Switch model did not buffer UDP packets , but simply discarded them when its buffer filled up.

Hi,
has anyone experience in Sun Ray over a WAN with a simple DSL connection?
We installed the new Sun Ray Server Software 4.1 beta on a Sun X4100 M2 Server, installed the GUI-Firmware on a Sun-Ray, did the complete setup for connecting the Ray-Server. After powering on the Sun-Ray [EMAIL PROTECTED] everything started fine und looks good, but if we scroll too fast trough a Webpage the display becomes cubically and it takes some time to "repaire" it. A look at utcapture showed an unacceptable high package lost rate, almost over 30%. My first idea was a too high MTU and so we tuned it down from 1500 to 1460. It helped a little bit, the lost rate went down to 20% but this is still unacceptable because the display becomes still cubically.

Thank you very much in advanced

Thomas
