I have read on a VMWare white paper that you should use Network WAN optimization if you are using RDP due to the overhead on the TCP handshake constantly reoccurring and that built-in RDP compression is 2:1. Neither is “better” they are just different:ġ.Use PCoIP if any of the following are true for you: 1.You want to display better quality graphics, video, and sound.Ģ.If bandwidth is not a problem because you are on a high-speed connection.Ģ.Use RDP if any of the following are true for you: 1.You don’t know your network quality, set RDP is better than PCoIPĢ.If graphics, video, and sound quality are not an issue.ģ.If you have limited bandwidth because you are on dial-up or a slow DSL connection. The primary advantage of RDP is that common protocol on some restrict network is available.

The primary advantage of PCoIP is speed and display quality. I have come across the following which is causing the confusion:

I understand VMWare View has the option of both RDP and PCoIP. There will be 120 users and I am trying to determine the BW of the WAN link based upon deciding which Display protocol I will end up using.

I am trying to work out which protocol would be better for my remote Branch Office workers connecting back in to VMWare View VDI environment?
