When to Use Enlightened Data Transport Support

The following scenarios illustrate the use of EDT enabled Citrix 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 the following.

  • MPX FIPS platform
  • Intel Coleto SSL chip based MPX devices
• 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.
