jhg, Check out jkb's upstream post that I responded to. It pretty much explain's exactly how important NBAR is. IMHO, it's pretty much a rehash of what was previously announced. But it was a CTXS press release upstream. Today it's a Cisco. IMHO, that's significant. What I consider more important is how CTXS can build relationships with MAJOR players in the Internet software and hardware world. MikeM(From Florida)

ICA application access is remote control/server-based technology. Since applications are not loaded locally to the machine - users connecting over networks to WinFrame/MetaFrame servers need 'good' bandwidth to use their applications. The goal is that the user should never feel that there is a considerable lag to running the application from the server - which is usually not noticed when running the application locally. The higher the network bandwidth in between (and also the higher the server bandwidth) the client and the WinFrame/MetaFrame server - the better the odds of the user feeling that application experience was great - as if it was loaded locally. Users who access applications via VPN's and ASP's are most susceptible to performance lags - as they are typically dial-up (analog telephone PPP) users - although VPN's can also be remote offices connected (T1/DSL/ISDN). Delivering high network bandwidth to these dialup PPP users is the tricky part. When we see vendors like CTXS/CSCO partnering to make use of new technologies - i.e. NBAR - we can assume that the technologies to providing great application access to these 'more susceptible' users is getting better.
