I tested running guacd on edge behind limited bandwidth link and it did improve performance compared to direct VNC. Transferred data amount compared to direct VNC was about half and because of that it was also more responsive.
Couple of time connection was interrupted and error “The connection has been closed because the server is taking too long to respond…." was showed. So, is there adjustable timeout for that? Also, is there any option to send mouse movement only when clicked (VNC)? -Timo From: Timo Nisula <timo.nis...@nisulaforest.com> Sent: Monday, December 13, 2021 2:47 PM To: user@guacamole.apache.org Subject: Re: slow links, howto optimize Thanks, I will definitely test it, hopefully I have enough time on this week :-) So we have three connection parts 1) vnc server to guacd, this use RFB protocol 2) from guacd to guacamole, Guacamole protocol 3) from guacamole to browser, Guacamole protocol over WebSocket (or HTTPS) So which one of these is most suitable for limited bandwidth and high latency? Part 2 probably has smallest overhead... ________________________________ Kohteesta: Ivanmarcus <ivanmar...@yahoo.com.INVALID> Lähetetty: tiistaina 14. joulukuuta 2021 klo 0.12 Vastaanottaja: user@guacamole.apache.org Aihe: Re: slow links, howto optimize Timo, If I understand your system correctly I suggest you're missing out on the full benefits of Guacamole. My experience of VNC direct (which is what I take you to be doing) is that it can be quite slow, especially with limited bandwidth. Given the same bandwidth capacity I have found Guacamole to give a much improved experience. Depending upon other things the Pi's are doing I expect you should have sufficient resource to run Guacamole on them. Out of interest I tried it on a Pi3 and it was ok - not as good as on a later Intel box, but more than adequate for 2G - a Pi 4 should be somewhat better.
