Network Requirements - Vector PC-Duo Gateway Manual

Screen recording hardware requirements vary according many factors, including the
number of simultaneous active recording sessions, the resolution and color depth of each
remote desktop, the type and amount of screen activity, the use of wallpaper and/or other
visual effects, etc. Also, note that one connection between Host and PC-Duo Gateway
may support one or more simultaneous recordings.

Concurrent Host connections: More concurrent connections can be supported if
encryption is turned off.

The following recommendations assume moderate screen activity:

Network bandwidth: 20 KB/sec per recording session. Depending on the
applications you are recording, the actual bandwidth requirements may be higher
or lower in your environment (see the factors listed above). Adjust the bandwidth
requirements accordingly.

Disk space: Approximately 2GB or less per 24 hours of continuous recording.
Recording file sizes vary based on level of screen activity; actual file sizes may
be higher or lower in your environment.
To accommodate the relationship between connections and hardware requirements, see
below for recommendations for additional incremental hardware requirements.:

Network requirements

PC-Duo Gateway operates over any type of network, including dial-up, Ethernet, token
ring, and FDDI, provided that the network supports the TCP/IP, UDP/IP, IPX, or SSL
protocols.
The following conditions apply:

IP is a general-purpose protocol supported on a wide variety of networks and servers.
The Microsoft TCP/IP Protocol (or any other WinSock 2 compliant IP stack) must be
available to enable communication using TCP or UDP over IP.

IPX provides access to Novell NetWare servers. To enable communication using IPX,
it is not necessary for any computer to be logged into a NetWare server, nor is it
necessary to run a NetWare client. To enable communication using IPX, you must have
the Microsoft NWLink IPX/SPX Compatible Transport (included with the operating
system).

The SSL protocol runs above TCP/IP and below higher-level protocols such as HTTP
or IMAP. Using TCP/IP on behalf of the higher-level protocols allows an SSL-enabled
server to authenticate itself to an SSL-enabled client, and both machines to establish an
encrypted connection.

The PC-Duo UDP, TCP and SSL transports fully support both IPv4 and IPv6
addressing.
