Impact of Remote Desktop Services on Network Throughput
Environment:
VMware vSphere 6.7.0.40000
Windows Server 2016 v.1607 Build 14393.3504
VMXNET3
Ubuntu
VMXNET3
iperf3 3.1.3
16 streams
Test results:
Before RDS: 25.1 Gbits/sec send & receive
After RDS: 8.25 Gbits/sec send & receive
Is this reduction a function of RDS or the network. I have been unable to find any documentation that lays out the relationship between the two. What I have found "Performance Tuning Remote Desktop Session Hosts" is thin on details. This is a "session-based" implementation to alow large data sets (~4TB) to duplicated and distributed to targed file servers. The number of clients would never exceed 8. Is it possible to effect the throughput?
