What type of network traffic does PASSPORT generate on the web server?
Since PASSPORT is an ActiveX component, it is downloaded only once from the HTTP server, or whenever a new version of the application is installed on the server. This minimizes the amount of network traffic with regard to applet download. The session profile (less than 1K) is downloaded from the HTTP server each time a session is started. For multiple sessions, multiple session profiles are downloaded from the HTTP server to launch each session. The amount of network traffic used to launch a host session is comparable to displaying a small web page. As for traffic to and from the host application server (3270, 5250, VT100, VT220, VT420, SCO ANSI and Wyse 60), it is identical to other desktop or web-based emulators. This traffic can range from light (for users that may access 2 or 3 screens per minute) to heavy (for users performing many large file transfers).
