JPG/PNGĪs its name implies, the JPG/PNG codec leverages two image formats, JPG and PNG, to encode and decode display content. Blast Extreme now supports four codecs: JPG/PNG, H.264, High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), and the new Blast Codec. The second key configurable component is the codec used to encode and decode the screen content transferred by Blast Extreme. And if Blast Extreme encounters problems making its initial connection over UDP, it will automatically switch and use TCP for the session instead. If WAN circuits are experiencing very high latency (250 milliseconds and greater)įor all other network conditions, VMware recommends that you use UDP for the best user experience.When traffic must pass through a UDP-hostile network service or device such as a TCP-based SSL VPN, which re-packages UDP in TCP packets.For the following conditions, VMware recommends that you use TCP rather than UDP:


Display protocols have similar performance characteristics.īecause of its efficiency and excellent performance, UDP, which is the default transport protocol Blast Extreme uses, should not be changed, with two exceptions. Streaming video, for example, may freeze for a moment or pixelate briefly, but otherwise continue playing.
