Re: TS Badnwidth
I'm not sure what you are trying to say, moncho.
Average for what kind of usage?
Luiz, the best thing that you can do is to set up a pilot system
and then do some measurements with the type of usage that you
expect.
How can I measure RDP bandwidth usage?

Q: How can I measure RDP bandwidth usage?
A: You can use Network Monitor (Netmon) to capture all RDP traffic.
You can install Netmon on your server through Add/Remove Windows
components.
Before starting the capture:
* Choose Capture - Buffer settings and increase the buffer size to
256 MB
* Choose Capture - Trigger, check Buffer space, 100%, and Stop
Capture
* Choose Capture - Filter, Create two pattern matches, connected by
an OR condition. One for an offset of 0x22 with a pattern of 0d3d
and a second one with an offset of 0x24 with a pattern of 0d3d
These patterns tell Netmon to only capture data with a source or
destination port of 3389 (the default port for RDP)
* Click the Start capture button, check the Captured Statistics
section (the numbers should be increasing), and then minimize
Netmon. You want to minimize Netmon because the updating of its
display will generate rdp traffic thus skewing the numbers.
Check back later to view the results. Netmon will stop capturing
automatically when it has captured approximately 256 MB of RDP
traffic. You can look at the elapsed time, captured frames,
captured bytes, and calculate bandwidth statistics from them.
It is also possible to adjust your filtering so that you only
capture packets from certain IP addresses.
