we have a 3rd party application installed on our application server, "myservername." The 3rd part company tells us that the application is very chatty and quickly performs poorly unless there is are very good network speeds.
I am concerned about the asterisks that I am seeing when I do a tracert command to the application server. Does this suggest an issue with the app server? As I understand it, the asterisks means that the last hop to the app server took longer than expected. because there are two asterisks, did it involve a retry also?
Does this suggest a problem? Some VDI users talking to the app server get horrible performance.
