# Bandwidth recommendations for remote sessions
1313

14-
When using a remote Windows session, your network’s available bandwidth greatly impacts the quality of your experience. Different applications and display resolutions require different network configurations, so it’s important to make sure your network is configured to meet your needs. This article describes recommended bandwidths for each workload.

Keep in mind that the stress put on your network depends on both your app workload's output frame rate and your display resolution. If either the frame rate or display resolution increases, the bandwidth requirement will also rise. For example, a light workload with a high-resolution display requires more available bandwidth than a light workload with regular or low resolution.

Different display resolutions require different available bandwidths. The following table lists the bandwidths we recommend for a smooth user experience at typical display resolutions with a frame rate of 30 frames per second (fps). Keep in mind that scenarios involving a frame rate under 30 fps, such as reading static text, require less available bandwidth.

The following table lists the bandwidths we recommend for a smooth user experience at typical display resolutions with a frame rate of 30 frames per second (fps). These recommendations apply to single and multiple user scenarios. Keep in mind that scenarios involving a frame rate under 30 fps, such as reading static text, require less available bandwidth.
