• 070712_KB939002 - This update addresses some issues with Windows CE 6.0 Network Projector.

Below is the registry key for tuning on RDP Receive buffer:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client]

"NPPerfTune"=dword:1

"NPRecvBufferSize"=dword:80000 

"NPRecvThreshold"=dword:800

All changes can be ignored from the registry “NPPerfTune” which is by default 0. To turn on the changes, its value should be 1

Receive buffer size is managed by the registry "NPRecvBufferSize”. Default value is 64K.

It is recommended to try the size between 64K to 1024K.

As a point of reference, the size is set to 512K for MS internal Pictor performance demo on TI DaVinci platform.

 

Receive threshold (how often Winsock should be called) is managed by the registry “NPRecvThreshold”. Default value is 2K.

It is recommended to try the size around 2K to 5% of the receive buffer size. The larger the threshold, the less frequent Winsock to be called.

As a point of reference, the Threshold is set to 2k for MS internal demo.
