Each virtual channel or the ICA/HDX protocol stream is coupled with a priority and transported on the corresponding connection. You can set the priorities for each ICA/HDX stream independently, based on the TCP port number used for the connection.

  • Very high: This is used for real-time connections such as webcams

  • High: This is used for interactive elements such as keyboard, mouse, and video

  • Medium: This is used for bulk processes such as client drive mapping
