HP Velocity FAQ

Protected flows

All HP Velocity data flows are blocked

In IP headers, HP Velocity uses the Internet Protocol (IP) ID value 0x420B and the IP option 0x880477FB. In TCP headers, HP Velocity uses the TCP option 0x01000000 & 0x00000000. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and firewall systems may require configuration to support HP Velocity-enabled traffic. Failure to do so may result in these devices blocking HP Velocity- enabled traffic. Consult your device manuals to configure these settings.

Traffic between HP Velocity servers is only monitored

HP Velocity protects only the flows between HP thin clients and HP Velocity-enabled servers (virtual desktops or terminal services). For server-to-server connections, HP Velocity displays the green icon but will only be monitoring the flows.

An RDP connection is not established to Microsoft Hyper-V when HP Velocity is enabled (Protect or Monitor mode)

If HP Velocity is installed directly on Microsoft Hyper-V and there is a “Local Area Connection - Virtual Network” entry (Figure 1), ensure that the LiveQoS NDIS 6 Filter Driver is disabled for the physical network adapter (Figure 2).
