Multi-link remote protocol
First Claim
1. In a computing system comprising a processor and memory, a method for transmitting remote presentation data to a client computer, the method comprising:
- establishing a first connection between a first data source and the client computer, the first connection established using a lossless protocol;
determining that the remote presentation data comprises first data provided by the first data source and second data provided by a second data source;
negotiating connection capabilities with the client computer to determine that the client computer can support a second connection and establishing the second connection with the second data source, wherein the second connection is established using one of a lossless protocol or a lossy protocol; and
directing the client computer to maintain the first and second connections to manage data flow control in virtual channels formed between the client computer and at least one of the first data source and the second data source via the first and second connections, the virtual channels used by the client computer and to receive said remote presentation data including said first data using the first connection and said second data using the second connection.

Abstract
In various embodiments, a remote client is allowed to access at least a part of a connection service located on alternate sources other than the primary remote presentation server. In some embodiments, the remote presentation virtual channels may be split into multiple connections with the purpose of allowing better flow control. Some embodiments may be implemented in a virtual machine environment for cases in which the data to be transferred through a data channel is located in the host virtual machine partition but the remote endpoint is located on the guest virtual machine partition.

13. A system configured to transmit remote presentation data to a client computer, comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory communicatively coupled to said at least one processor, the memory having stored therein computer-executable instructions for; establishing a first connection between the first data source and the client computer, the first connection established using a lossless protocol characterized by guaranteed packet delivery and packet order; determining that the remote presentation data comprises first data provided by the first data source and second data provided by a second data source; negotiating connection capabilities with the client computer to determine that the client computer can support a second connection and establishing the second connection with the second data source, wherein the second connection is established using one of a lossless protocol characterized by guaranteed packet delivery and packet order or a lossy protocol characterized by non-guaranteed packet delivery and packet ordering; and using the first and second connections to manage data flow control among virtual channels formed between the client computer and at least one of the first data source and the second data source via the first and second connections, the virtual channels used by the client computer to receive the remote presentation data. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A computer readable storage medium storing thereon computer executable instructions for receiving remote presentation data on a client computer, said instructions for:
-
establishing a first connection between a first data source and the client computer, the first connection established using a lossless protocol characterized by guaranteed packet delivery and packet order; determining that the remote presentation data comprises first data provided by the first data source and second data provided by a second data source; negotiating connection capabilities with the client computer to determine that the client computer can support a second connection and establishing the second connection, wherein the second connection is established using one of a lossless protocol characterized by guaranteed packet delivery and packet order or a lossy protocol characterized by non-guaranteed packet delivery and packet ordering; directing the client computer to maintain the first and second connections to manage data flow control in virtual channels formed between the client computer and at least one of the first data source and the second data source via the first and second connections, the virtual channels used by the client computer and to receive said remote presentation data including said first data using the first connection and said second data using the second connection; and using both first and second connections to send the remote presentation data to the client computer. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
