Abstract

The subject disclosure relates to a method for initiating an accelerated desktop session between a client device and a remote server. In some aspects, the method includes steps for receiving, via a network gateway, a remote desktop connection request, initiating a first connection with a client device via the network gateway using a first communication protocol and sending a token to the client device via the network gateway. In certain aspects, the method further comprises initiating a second connection with the client device, via a proxy, wherein the second connection is established using a second communication protocol. A client device and computer-readable medium are also provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory machine-readable medium encoded with instructions executable to perform a method, the method comprising:
receiving, via a network gateway, a remote desktop connection request;
initiating a first connection between a client device and a remote server via the network gateway using a first communication protocol;
sending a token to the client device via the network gateway;
initiating a second connection between the client device and the remote server based on the token, via a proxy, wherein the second connection is established using a second communication protocol; and
closing, by the remote server, the first connection with the client device.

2. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the token comprises authentication information for authenticating the client device.

3. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
authenticating the client device using the token.

4. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 ,
wherein initiating the second connection further comprises:
receiving the token from the client device via the proxy; and
authenticating the token to verify the client device.

5. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 ,
wherein the first communication protocol is transmission control protocol (TCP).

6. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 ,
wherein the second communication protocol is user datagram protocol (UDP) Plus.

7. A server configured to establish a remote connection with a client device, the server comprising:
one or more hardware-based processors; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by the processors, cause the processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, via a network gateway, a remote desktop connection request;
initiating a first connection between the client device and the remote server via the network gateway using a first communication protocol;
sending a token to the client device via the network gateway;
initiating a second connection between the client device and the remote server based on the token, via a proxy, wherein the second connection is initiated using a second communication protocol; and
closing, by the remote server, the first connection with the client device.

8. The server of claim 7 , wherein the token comprises authentication information for authenticating the client device.

9. The server of claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise:
authenticating the client device using the token.

10. The server of claim 7 , wherein initiating the second connection further comprises:
receiving the token from the client device via the proxy; and
authenticating the token to verify the client device.

11. The server of claim 7 , wherein the first communication protocol is transmission control protocol (TCP).

12. The server of claim 7 , wherein the second communication protocol is user datagram protocol (UDP) Plus.

13. A computer-implemented method for establishing a remote connection with a client device the method comprising:
receiving, via a network gateway, a remote desktop connection request;
initiating a first connection between the client device and the remote server via the network gateway using a first communication protocol;
sending a token to the client device via the network gateway;
initiating a second connection between the client device and the remote server based on the token, via a proxy, wherein the second connection is initiated using a second communication protocol; and
closing, by the remote server, the first connection with the client device.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the token comprises authentication information for authenticating the client device.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the method further comprises:
authenticating the client device using the token.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein initiating the second connection further comprises:
receiving the token from the client device via the proxy; and authenticating the token to verify the client device.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the first communication protocol is transmission control protocol (TCP).

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the second communication protocol is user datagram protocol (UDP) Plus.
