Computing system with data transfer based upon device data flow characteristics and related methods

A method for operating a given client computing device in communication with a server, the server to provide a given virtual desktop instance for the given client computing device, at least one local device to be coupled to the given client computing device and to be operable in the given virtual desktop instance associated with the given client computing device, the method comprising:

• generating a client mapping table comprising
• a plurality of known client packets associated with the at least one local device,
• a plurality of client mapping identification (ID) numbers respectively associated with the plurality of known client packets, and
• a plurality of different local device types associated with the plurality of client mapping ID numbers;
• and
• when the at least one local device is coupled to the given client computing device,
• generating a plurality of client initialization packets,
• determining whether at least one client packet from the plurality of client initialization packets is within the client mapping table,
• replacing the at least one client packet with at least one client mapping ID number to define a plurality of compressed client initialization packets, and
• sending the plurality of compressed client initialization packets to the server,
• the server configured to replace the at least one client mapping ID number with the at least one client packet in the plurality of compressed client initialization packets based upon a server mapping table.

A method for operating a server in communication with at least one client computing device to provide a corresponding at least one virtual desktop instance for the at least one client computing device, at least one local device to be coupled to a given client computing device and to be operable in a given virtual desktop instance associated with the given client computing device, thereby generating a plurality of server initialization packets, the method comprising:

• generating a server mapping table comprising
• a plurality of known server packets associated with the at least one local device,
• a plurality of server mapping identification (ID) numbers respectively associated with the plurality of known server packets, and
• a plurality of different local device types associated with the plurality of server mapping ID numbers;
• and
• when the at least one local device is coupled to the given client computing device,
• determining whether at least one server packet from the plurality of server initialization packets is within the server mapping table,
• replacing the at least one server packet with at least one server mapping ID number to define a plurality of compressed server initialization packets, and
• sending the plurality of compressed server initialization packets to the given client computing device,
• said given client computing device configured to replace the at least one server mapping ID number with the at least one server packet in the plurality of compressed server initialization packets based upon a client mapping table.
