   - For general application usage, ping rate is normally more important than bandwidth. Ping rate is the time it takes for a signal to travel to the remote location and back again. Generally, the faster the ping rate, the more usable the application will be over Terminal Services. Typically, ping rates below 200 ms (1/5th of a second) will yield a good Remote desktop experience

+  - With most Internet services, you will be provided with two bandwidth values, one for upload and one for download. Typically, your download bandwidth is greater than your upload bandwidth. Because of this, your limiting factor as to how many connections you can have to your server is really limited to the upload value at the server location. So, if the head office contains your server and the download bandwidth available is 5 MB, but the upload bandwidth available is only 1 MB, then the maximum number of usable remote connections, assuming 100 KB for each, would be 10. This is because the Internet service at the head office is only able to upload a maximum of 1 MB of data (10 x 100 KB = 1 MB). Hence, even if the remote locations are all able to download 5 MB each, the server at the head office is only ever able to deliver a maximum of 1 MB of data.
+  - Printing large reports can increase the demands on the bandwidth required for Terminal Services
+  - If you will be required to print large reports using Terminal Services, an alternate printing option such as THINPRINT should be considered.
+===== Remote App =====
+<del>Consider connecting via [[RemoteAPP]] instead of Remote Desktop for Server 2008 clients.</del>
+RemoteApp simply does not work when using integrated credit cards (i.e. System Five communicating directly with the credit card company).  Nor, does RemoteApp reliably pass through some other data from connected peripheral devices.
