HP Velocity FAQ

General

multimedia streaming and remote desktop by modifying TCP flow control mechanisms to perform better in high-latency environments.

What is the LiveWiFi Optimizer?

HP Velocity accelerates application flows by leveraging WiFi multimedia standards to minimize latency and prioritize HP Velocity traffic.

What is the Target Loss Rate (TLR)?

The Target Loss Rate (TLR) is the amount of loss that a thin-client application can tolerate while still delivering an acceptable QoE. HP Velocity adjusts its operation to ensure that each application is protected from experiencing too much packet loss. The default and recommended TLR for thin-client applications is 0.04%.

What is Burst Loss Protection (BLP)?

Burst loss, also known as sequential loss, normally prevents HP Velocity from reconstructing the source packet at the remote endpoint. To mitigate sequential loss, HP Velocity offers the Burst Loss Protection (BLP) feature.

The net effect of BLP is added resiliency against burst loss. Its success depends on the number of source packets that are HP Velocity-encoded and the sequential loss duration.

How does HP Velocity provide congestion avoidance?

HP Velocity provides congestion avoidance by analyzing network links. When it detects a link with bandwidth constraints, it automatically adjusts protection to accommodate those constraints.

How does HP Velocity provide congestion control?

Congestion control is provided by the LiveTCP Optimizer, which improves on native TCP by automatically accelerating the speed at which thin-client protocols (RDP, RGS, and ICA) transmit data.
