Network bandwidth requirements for horizon blast clients

Is there a document or a rule of thumb that states the conditions for latency and bandwith speed for an excellent user experience on a horizon view client using the blast protocol?

Is there a tool that i can install on a thin client running (windows 10 IoT) a horizon view client and record these statistics and i can tell what's wrong? Like a "ping" tool for the blast protocol? Or a similar tool like solarwinds's free voip monitor tool but one that does horizon blast?

I have no insight on wether my network is up to snuff on providing the right bandwidth and latency for our deployment.

Hi HPU-ADM,

There is no thumb rule for when it comes to configuring the BLAST or PCoIP values. However you can try by configuring the settings as per the below chart as a starting point and then tweak them as per your requirement.

Note: You can configure these via GPO or Smart Policies in UEM
