TERA1x00 PC-over-IP Administrative Interface User Manual TER0606004 Issue 3 Figure 77: Simplified User Bandwidth Requirements (Assuming 100 Mbps) 4.3.1 Configuring Host Bandwidth Limit to 25 Mbps In this section, the network will be configured to minimize packet loss. Networks respond to congestion by dropping packets. The PC-over-IP processor responds to dropped (lost) packets by reducing the amount of bandwidth it generates. In most cases, the PC-over-IP processor will conceal the packet loss to be imperceptible to the user. However, in some low-bandwidth or high network latency situations, it might be preferable to eliminate congestion-based packet loss by limiting the available bandwidth to each user. We limit each user's peak bandwidth to 25 Mbps (hard limit - firmware will not use more than 25 Mbps). In addition, we will set a target of 20 Mbps (soft limit - rapidly decreased to 20 Mbps during network congestion, more slowly lower than 20 Mbps), to ensure the available bandwidth is shared fairly if other network traffic further constrains the link. Note: For this example, it is assumed very little data is required from the Portal back to the Host (i.e. USB keyboard and mouse data), and therefore the only the Host bandwidth is limited. To be complete, the Portal bandwidth limit could also be configured. 1.
