Guest Julio Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Is it possible to completely disable RDP compression? If so, how? We are currently using RDP ver.5.2 & 6.0 Thanks. J
Guest Helge Klein Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 Re: RDP Compression I do not think that disabling RDP compression is possible. Just out of curiosity: Why do you want to do that? To unload the CPU?

Guest Julio Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 Re: RDP Compression The reason I need to do that is because we are testing RDP traffic on our WAN and are using a WAN optimization device that requires us to disable the compression if possible.

Guest TP Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 Re: RDP Compression Hi, I would recommend you contact riverbed and ask them if they *actually* claim to optimize RDP applications at a deep level. For regular business apps RDP is already highly optimized with intelligent caching and compression. As you most likely already know, RDP benefits from any device that smooths out the traffic flow, reduces latency, gives priority to RDP traffic, guarantees minimum bandwidth for each session, etc. There are opportunities to optimize RDP traffic if they wanted to. For example, in a case where large files are transferred over RDP, or video/audio streaming, they could cache this on their device and thus avoid transferring more than once. Another potential would be to cache bitmaps so that these would only be transferred over the WAN once, but then it would need to take over the job of generating bitmap hashes and instructing each client which cache cell to store it in. Doing the above is complex and would require substantial investment. They would need to license the protocol, program their hardware to decrypt/decompress/compress/encrypt (unless they developed a software piece that ran on the TS) the stream, examine the traffic for file transfers, video playback, bitmaps, etc. And if they accomplished the above the product would likely only benefit a small subset of TS installs which may or may not be enough to justify development costs. If they have done even a portion of the optimizing techniques for RDP I describe above I am certain they would be more than happy to tell you about and rightly so. -TP Julio wrote: > Is it possible to completely disable RDP compression?

Guest TP Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 Re: RDP Compression I forgot to mention that in the past you could disable compression in older versions of the client. The setting for it is still in the .rdp file. Open it up in notepad and change the 1 to a 0. I am not sure if the compression setting is actually honored or ignored in the latest clients. -TP Julio wrote: > Is it possible to completely disable RDP compression? If so, how?

Guest ascom99 Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Re: RDP Compression TP, I found these notes: " 1. It is possible to turn off compression on XP-64 2. MS has a hot fix it shares that when applied to the XP-32 desktop it will behave similar to its XP-64 bit counterpart. " But I do not know the number of the fix. Do you have any info ?
