This note is a follow-on to note #718. Many customers are asking how
will/does DECwindows work over a WAN (router based network) or a EXTENDED
LAN (Translan based network ). Any indicative figures or experience in
this area would be appreciated. If there isn't any figures available,
are we Digital exploring this area (or what do we tell the paying
public?).
Regards,
Michael Rosic.
(PS. Q are you still around?)

What is the speed of the WAN lines? How are they being used now?
Are they busy?
Q is up here in ZK now. Send mail to STAR::QUODLING.

| 1620.2 | Speed=48K with LAT & DECnet | SNOC02::ROSIC | Wed Oct 25 1989 05:44 | 9 | |
Thanks for your speedy reply, Mike. The lines are currently 48 Kbps and
are being used for LAT and DECnet (ie, Translan based). Have no real
traffic figures available but the customer would like
loading/utilisation of such a link in a typical DEwindows application
(if there is such a beast), say DECwrite. The customers has several
remote sites connected to a central cluster.
Michael.

Well, you could try it.. with a 48kb line, I'd say you'd get semi- acceptable performance but it's hard to say cuz of the utilization of the line.. I certainly wouldn't want to see 3-5 DECwrite sessions going on at the same time! :-) My advice is to try it but tell the customer not to expect stellar performance. mike | |||||
