Uh, I'm pretty damn sure I have seen an office with hundreds of people, all connected remotely to workstations, on enterprise network, without any of the problems they are talking about. I've worked remotely from a coffee shop Wifi without any lag or issues. What the hell are they going on about? Have they never heard about VNC or RDP?
Oh. I mean, I'm sitting on my own Wifi, one wall between me with a laptop (it is 10 years old, though) and my computer running Sunshite/Moonlight stream, and I run into issues pretty often even on 30FPS stream. It's made for super low-latency game streaming, that's expected. It's extremely wrong tool for the job.
Oh. So that's why.
Lol.
WebSocket seems like a completely wrong abstraction for streaming video...
