| Use VMWARE workstation team feature to conduct ICA performance testing |

"Presentation server 4.5 added some cool features to optimize ICA performance. The improvement is most visible over slow links. To set up a test environment to see the difference requires multiple machines and some ways to control the network characteristics such as bandwidth, latency, packet loss rate etc. Products such as Shunra can be used to simulate the network. http://www.shunra.com/vedesktop The desktop version costs $499 dollars though the last time I checked. Recently I just found out that vmware workstation has the team feature that allows virtual machines to be grouped together and connect using a virtual LAN. You can specify the virtual LAN bandwidth and packet loss rate. You can't change the latency of the virtual LAN though. The ability to change latency would be a nice feature to add I think. This allows a relatively quick way to conduct some comparison testing in a controlled environment." Read the article here.
