Abstract: Calls run through a virtual desktop infrastructure server are enhanced by testing communication network conditions and selecting, based on the test results, a media channel from a set of supported media channels, including a media channel that is routed through the virtual desktop infrastructure server and encapsulated in a protocol for exchanging data for virtual desktop applications and a more direct media channel that uses a network socket pair between a media server and a personal computing device and bypasses the virtual desktop infrastructure server. In some implementations, call data of multiple types and/or from multiple sources are merged into a single virtual channel of the protocol for exchanging data for virtual desktop applications.

Abstract: Calls run through a virtual desktop infrastructure server are enhanced by opening a media channel between a personal computing device and a media server for a call initiated using a virtual desktop infrastructure server. A first stream of media data for the call is merged with a second stream of media data for the call in a single virtual channel of the protocol using a first packet queue to store packets of the first stream and a second packet queue to store packets of the second stream as the packets await transmission. A first packet of media data of the first stream is pushed into the first packet queue. A fill level of the first packet queue is compared to a first congest threshold associated with the first packet queue. Responsive to the fill level exceeding the first congest threshold, a congestion mitigation measure is invoked.
