What are the network requirements with respect to latency in Forms?
432856Nov 16 2004 — edited Nov 22 2004Our company is a global provider of online sourcing, procurement and collaboration solutions and services to Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) projects and companies.
We operate three Internet trading portals with 1000+ buyers & supplier companies around the world.
The application is:
- based on Forms 9.0.2
- use SUN J2SE 1.4.2_0X on the client side
- runs on the public Internet using SSL
- hosted in Norway
Some companies reports about bad response times and the users claims that our application runs slow. The application do not run slowly, it is very responsive - however it requires a good network connection. Upon request from our customer base I need to know what is the requirements for the network in order to achive an acceptable user experience?:
- Maximum lantency
- Minimum bandwith
What where the design requirements Oracle set forth when developing Forms?
There can be a lot of "latency" generating network equipment in the path between the user and our server farm: switches, routers, proxy servers, chaching servers, firewalls, packet shapers, QoS, etc. One customer have all of these goodies and our users in that company do not have fun with the Forms application! However, they do not belive that there is something wrong with the network because normal HTML based sites works OK!
In order to help these customers I need (URGENTLY) to know what the network requirments are?
