Chapter 5. Optimizing for WAN Links
If you're administering a XenApp farm for a while, someone has probably already asked you to give access to published applications for users who are not connected to your local LAN. The external access could be for teleworkers, for branch offices, or for outsourcers that even work in a different continent.
The Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) protocol is known for its excellent performance over slow links and its low bandwidth usage. In this chapter you'll learn:
The differences between LAN and WAN links
The specific optimizations available in XenApp for WAN links
How to test your farm's behavior over WAN links before going to production
