Hi Admin / Users

there has been always disucssion placed on bandwidth requirements for Citrix connection in project initail phases.

Citrix Bandwidth Calculation:-

bandwidth = (200 * h) + (100 * d) + (1500 * x) + z

h = users with video without Flash redirection - average usage is 200 Kbps
d = users with video with Flash redirection - average usage 100 Kbps
x = users that require 3D Graphics - average usage is 1500 Kbps or 1.5 Mbps
z = addtional 1000 to 2000 kbps to support peaks (>10 users)

Example

You have 50 users that are using thin clients without the ability of Flash redirection (Flash will be rendered on the server instead)
You have 10 users with thick clients that can perform Flash redirection on the client
You have 3 CAD users that will required 3D Graphics
Since you have over 10 users and you have the need for 3D Graphics, you decide to add 2000 Kbps for overhead.

h = 50
d = 10
x = 5
z = 2000

(200 * 50) + (100 * 10) + (1500 *5) + 2000
10000 + 1000 + 7500 + 2000 = 115000

115000 kbps connection required.

Thanks
