Multi-session zero client device and network for transporting separated flows to device sessions via virtual nodes

A system that transports a plurality of flows, comprising

• one or more central nodes having a plurality of central processing units configured to execute a plurality of processes that operate under the control of one or more central operating systems;
• and
• a plurality of virtual nodes in the one or more central nodes, wherein each virtual node is configured to execute processes that isolate said plurality of virtual nodes from each other based on hardware simulation of 1) a plurality of virtual graphics nodes that concurrently process graphics flows used in a plurality of the display sessions at the plurality of remote zero client nodes and 2) a plurality of virtual switches that switch packets associated with the concurrently processed graphic flows;
• and
• a plurality of sender and receiver nodes configured to transport two or more graphic flows that are used simultaneously in two or more display sessions at a single remote zero client node;
• and
• a plurality of zero client nodes that are remote to the one or more central nodes, wherein each zero client node executes a separating operating system for separating the two or more display sessions from each other based on a separation configuration that implements a separation policy for the two or more graphics flows.

A method for transporting a plurality of flows comprising the steps of:

• executing a plurality of processes that operate under the control of one or more central operating systems in one or more central nodes;
• and
• executing a plurality of virtual nodes in the one or more central nodes, wherein each virtual node is configured to execute processes that isolate said plurality of virtual nodes from each other based on hardware simulation of 1) a plurality of virtual graphics nodes that concurrently process graphics flows used in a plurality of the display sessions at the plurality of remote zero client nodes and 2) a plurality of virtual switches that switch packets associated with the concurrently processed graphic flows;
• and
• transporting two or more graphic flows that are used simultaneously in two or more display sessions at a plurality of zero client nodes that are remote to the one or more central nodes, wherein each zero client node executes a separating operating system for separating the two or more display sessions from each other based on a separation configuration that implements a separation policy for the two or more graphics flows.
