In this video, we will focus on WVD Network components and the various things that can cause Network-related constraints to create for users.
February 26, 2020 In part 5 of 5, we're discussing Network-related performance issues in WVD environments. Network latency and packet loss can create a poor end-user experience. Bandwidth, on its own, is not a likely contributor to poor performance unless the bandwidth is very constrained and that leads to latency of packet loss. It is very important to draw the distinction between bandwidth, latency, and packet loss. They are different, and often independent, measures of network quality and troubleshooting one when the problem is with another can lead to lots of wasted effort and erroneous conclusions.
