System and Method for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure User Level Virtual Channel

A method by a virtual machine (VM) for handling client data in a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment, the method comprising:

• establishing a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection with a client;
• establishing, at a user level of operation of the VM, a virtual channel (VC) for each service provided by the VM to the client over the TCP connection;
• establishing a named pipe for each VC, wherein the named pipe allows communications with executable files for the service associated with the VC;
• establishing a priority queue for the VC for handling services data for the client according to priority of data services;
• receiving, over the TCP connection from the client, data associated with the VC;
• reading the data into the priority queue for the VC;
• reading, according to the priority of data services, the data from the priority queue of the VC into the named pipe for the VC;
• and
• processing the data in the named pipe using the executable files.

A network component for handling client data in a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment, the network component comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer readable storage medium storing programming for execution by the processor, the programming including instructions to:
• establish a communication module at a user level of operation of the network component;
• establish a connection between the network component and a client device;
• establish, at the user level of operation of the network component, a plurality of virtual channels (VCs) for a plurality of respective services provided to the client device;
• communicate, using the communication module at the user level, with service modules running at the network component for executing the services;
• arrange data of the services into a plurality of respective priority queues according to priority of the services;
• and
• exchange, using the communication module, the data of the services on in VCs on the connection with the client device according to the priority queues.
