Bandwidth optimization for remote desktop protocol

A method for processing a first data stream received from a remote server to generate a second data stream conforming to a remote desktop protocol (RDP), the method comprising:

• facilitating processing of the first data stream received from the remote server to retrieve package data units (PDUs) associated with packet data, wherein each PDU associated with packet data has a header including an index value related to the packet data and indicative of a storage location;
• in response to receiving a first PDU including first packet data, the method comprising:
• facilitating decompression of the first packet data using a decompression algorithm;
• and
• facilitating storage of the decompressed first packet data in a location of a memory cache corresponding to the index value included in the header of the first PDU;
• in response to receiving a second PDU, facilitating retrieval of second packet data from a location of the memory cache corresponding to the index value included in the header of the second PDU;
• facilitating generation of the second data stream conforming to the RDP and including the decompressed first packet data and the retrieved second packet data;
• and
• facilitating streaming of the generated second data stream conforming to the RDP to a local client.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor to process a first data stream received from a remote server to generate a second data stream conforming to a remote desktop protocol (RDP), the instructions for:

• facilitating processing of the first data stream received from the remote server to retrieve package data units (PDUs) associated with packet data, wherein each PDU associated with packet data has a header including an index value related to the packet data and indicative of a storage location;
• in response to receiving a first PDU including first packet data, the instructions including instructions for:
• facilitating decompression of the first packet data using a decompression algorithm;
• and
• facilitating storage of the decompressed first packet data in a location of a memory cache corresponding to the index value included in the header of the first PDU;
• in response to receiving a second PDU, facilitating retrieval of second packet data from a location of the memory cache corresponding to the index value included in the header of the second PDU;
• facilitating generation of the second data stream conforming to the RDP and including the decompressed first packet data and the retrieved second packet data;
• and
• facilitating streaming of the generated second data stream conforming to the RDP to a local client.

An apparatus for processing a first data stream received from a remote server to generate a second data stream conforming to a remote desktop protocol (RDP), the apparatus comprising a processor having access to memory media, the memory media storing instructions executable by the processor, the instructions including instructions for:

• processing of the first data stream received from the remote server to retrieve package data units (PDUs) associated with packet data, wherein each PDU associated with packet data has a header including an index value related to the packet data and indicative of a storage location;
• in response to receiving a first PDU including first packet data, the instructions including instructions for
• decompressing the first packet data using a decompression algorithm;
• and
• storing the decompressed first packet data in a location of a memory cache corresponding to the index value included in the header of the first PDU;
• in response to receiving a second PDU, retrieving second packet data from a location of the memory cache corresponding to the index value included in the header of the second PDU;
• generating the second data stream conforming to the RDP and including the decompressed first packet data and the retrieved second packet data;
• and
• streaming the generated second data stream conforming to the RDP to a local client.
