I use Jump for Mac to Mac between (30 miles outside) London and Santa Monica, LA. Gives really good results and pretty much real time playback with audio.
Did you get this sorted? I’ve had issues with full screening macbooks with retina displays over hp anyware. What’s the playback like if you don’t fullscreen or use an external monitor on the macbook?
certainly not sorted… I find that HP Anyware works extremely well for most people but if you have higher latency it becomes unusable quite quickly.
I’ve had some similar issues. I have gigabit fibre at home which feeds into my router & hard wired to my client PC. I get great speed/latency but HPA was terrible. We changed CPU offload on the z8 HPAnywhere Agent to ‘Auto’ & things are much better. I think maybe the z8 was maxing out CPU trying to encode for my dual monitor setup at home.
For us, we only use CPU as GPU is utterly unusable. I wouldn’t be surprised if maybe you actually had Ultra disabled. Also, when set to Auto there is an RGB<->YUV flash when it switches between CPU&GPU.
Interesting.
When using (z8/a6000) agent in CPU mode, the health monitor was showing 100mbps+ at home but loads of packet loss & was unusable. CPU was running v high, 100%+.
With the agent in GPU mode, speeds are around 60mbps with no packet loss, all is good.
My theory/guess was that because the CPU was overloaded/high usage, the udp packets were somehow getting out of sequence & weren’t able to be rebuilt at the client, hence packet loss?
I’m more of a user than a networking guru so I’m probably wrong 
The fact we have our support logging support calls with HP over this shows how much of a pain it’s been to get this working correctly. Onsite is fine.

The packets are fire-and-forget by design.
So, you’re almost, certainly, probably not wrong and more likely almost, certainly, probably correct.
