Ensure sufficient bandwidth is allocated to PCoIP traffic.
Plan for an average of 150–250 Kbps for standard office applications with Windows Experience settings optimized. Or, plan for 80–150 Kbps when optimizing the Windows Experience settings and also optimizing PCoIP session variables.

Consider the bandwidth required for audio input/output.

Consider the bandwidth required for USB traffic.
PCoIP Zero Client bandwidth limit will limit USB traffic per PCoIP session.
Plan a minimum of 1 Mbps per simultaneous user watching a 480p video window.
More bandwidth may be required depending on video resolution/user quality requirements.
Ensure that network bandwidth analysis includes following network loading guidelines (that is, 60%–80%).
Hardware interfaces running at over 80% utilization tend to have problems queuing packets due to network burstiness, resulting in packet drops.
Ensure that there is sufficient bandwidth headroom for bursts of PCoIP protocol traffic.
Plan for a minimum bandwidth headroom of 500 Kbps to 1 Mbps.
The actual burst bandwidth required will depend on the user and applications (for example, the number of pixels changing, the level and complexity of compression, and the display frame rate).
Plan for adequate burst capacity for Remote Workstation Card users.
Many workstation applications require a higher burst bandwidth that varies per user and imaging workload. It also depends on how many users are sharing the link.
Over-subscription analysis (optional) can enable efficient link sizing while maintaining a reasonable expectation that burst bandwidth is available per session.
Use of enterprise network loading guidelines is a reasonable basic planning alternative.
Consider bandwidth reduction options when operating in a known constrained network environment.
Optimize desktop Windows Experience settings (implement this first).
Optimize PCoIP session variables.
For further details, see PCoIP Session Configuration.
Optimize display resolution and/or number of displays.
