Abstract
An apparatus and related method are provided for improving the performance of virtual desktop services. A network device is deployed in a network to intercept packets of a control session initiated by a client with a connection broker to obtain data from a host. The network device initiates a new control session to the connection broker on behalf of the client. The network device receives host information from the connection broker, replaces address information of the network device for the host information in a control session message and sends the control session message to the client. The network device establishes a data session with the client, initiates a data session with the host on behalf of the client and relays data between the data session with the host and the data session with the client such that the network device is transparent to the client and the host.
