Abstract: Systems and methods are described for streaming data between a user device and a remote computing environment via a “switchboard” service that enables interaction without the user device or the remote computing environment establishing additional connections. A first routing device receives a connection from a user device that requests routing a data stream to or from a remote computing environment. The first routing device processes the request by generating a token, which is passed to the remote computing environment along with the request. The remote computing environment passes the token to a second routing device, which decodes the routing token to identify the first routing device. The second routing device then passes the request token to the first routing device, which responds by establishing a route for streaming data between the connection made with the user device and the remote computing environment via the routing devices.
