Lag when big image changes occur

[mutlu]

Hello.

I use NoMachine at home. The software has a good performance but I think I would be further good. For example, my connection can handle at least 5 MB/s up and 5 MB/s down. On big image changes, lags are happening. When I take look at the connection usage, It goes at most 2 MB/s.

I use free and latest version of NoMachine.Ubuntu 14.19

Ubuntu 14.10 for the server, Ubuntu 14.04 for the client. Both are Unity Desktop.

Hello.

I don’t know how you collected the network usage, but you could try to use the own NoMachine tool for more detailed info (https://www.nomachine.com/AR02N00875). Consider that even if the average bandwidth usage is around 2 MB/s, the encoder could still produce overshoots on scene changes. And even if the link capacity is not reached, also the transfer time of large packets is to be considered. In order to estimate to what extent the lag is due to the bandwidth usage, you can try to lower the Quality slider.

Finally, I suggest to enable the H.264 encoder, if you didn’t do it already, by following the instructions in https://www.nomachine.com/AR10K00706. That will help with both bandwidth and CPU usage.
