We have Columbus (CMH) and NYC offices linking Revit 2017 models across the 500+ mile distance (19+ ms latency). I thought Revit was not designed for linking across a WAN. Nevertheless the CMH team has the links unloaded and feels this has worked ok in the past. I am curious if the unloaded links can still cause the following issues:
1) It takes CMH 20-40 minutes to open the CMH RVT model which is under 200 mb.
2) CMH cannot synchronize the CMH model if more than one person is in the model.
3) NYC has reported that they are unable to access their NYC model during synchronization, CMH model is linked.
4) NYC has reported synch times over 10 minutes for the NYC model.
Of course, we also have a Seattle designer accessing the NYC models, hopefully through the NYC or CMH Citrix server. I recommended to the team that they cannot be linking models across the WAN and expect Revit to work effectively. Instead, they should be using Collaboration for Revit.

Am not sure if this is something different, or I am just not practicing what i preach.
Just for my own sanity, if everyone really does have unloaded links, can this still be contributing to the issues above.
