XPRA over TCP vs SSH

[louwe]

Hi, I use XPRA usually either over a secure LAN or tunneled over Wireguard. As such, I'm not worried about encrypting the connection and just want to have the best and fastest performance possible. In that case, is it better to just use plain TCP vs the usual recommended SSH method?

Thanks!

For sure tcp mode.
There are some unusual corner cases where ssh mode can save a little bit of bandwidth because of the extra buffering that it does, but this costs some latency and it should be very rare.

Thank you for the prompt and clear answer!

In xpra v5, the quic transport (#3376) could be used to for speed things up but it will probably take time before xpra can fully take advantage of it.

Nice heads-up. I'll be sure to look forward to it!
