The following scenarios illustrate the use of EDT enabled NetScaler Gateway.

A user wants an experience as good as in a LAN environment while remotely accessing business resources.
A user wants a rich virtual application and desktop user experience on Wi-Fi and cellular networks where network quality is poor because of congestion, high packet loss, and high latency.

The following points are to be kept in mind while using EDT.

The DTLS knob at the virtual server level is enabled by default.
EDT is now supported on all the platforms except MPX FIPS platform.
SNI with DTLS is not supported.
IPv6 with DTLS is not supported.
Smart control policies and ICA policies do not work if DTLS is enabled.
Also, the appliance can now be configured for Double-hop functionality for EDT traffic between Receiver and VDA. For more information, click Deploying in a Double-Hop DMZ.
