If the outer method does not support the desired capability, the receiver responds to the first end point with a negative acknowledgment. In other embodiments, if the outer method does not support the desired capability, the desired capability may still be performed if it is supported by an inner method. In such instances, an inner wrapper method is employed in the PEAP transaction to maintain and perform the capability. | 12-31-2009 |

Each signature and compressed image pair corresponds to input data (i.e. the signature was generated from an image and the compressed image was generated from that same image). The remote presentation session server checks the signature against the signature table. Where the remote presentation session server determines that there is a match between the signature and a signature in the signature table, it sends the client the compressed image that corresponds to the signature in the signature table that generated the match. In doing so, the remote presentation session server may avoid redundantly compressing the second image. | 09-08-2011 |
