This video show the connection on a laptop accessing the desktop in the internal network through the connection server.

Here is a test of the performance using an Android tablet connected in the internal network accessing the Desktop via the Connection server. Apology for the lousy video as I did this using my digital camera in order to see the whole desktop experience on the screen.
