protocol citrix enable
Enables Citrix optimization.
Syntax
[no] protocol citrix enable
Parameters
None
Usage
To consolidate operations, some organizations install thin clients in their branch offices and install a Citrix Presentation Server in the data center to front-end the applications. The proprietary protocol that Citrix uses to move updates between the client and the server is called ICA (Independent Computing Architecture). The thin clients at the branch offices have a Citrix ICA client accessing the services at the data center which are front-ended by a Citrix Presentation Server (also called Citrix Metaframe Server in earlier versions).
RiOS v6.0 and later provides the following ways to recognize, prioritize, and optimize Citrix traffic:
• Optimize the native ICA traffic bandwidth.
• Classify and shape Citrix ICA traffic using QoS.
For details on shaping Citrix traffic using QoS, see the SteelHead Deployment Guide - Protocols.
The no command option disables Citrix optimization.
Example
