¹Adaptive transport is a data transport mechanism for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. This mechanism enables the underlying
protocol to switch between the Citrix protocol called Enlightened Data Transport (EDT) and Transmission Control Protocol
(TCP) for better performance. EDT is added on top of UDP and enhances the data throughput for all ICA virtual channels.
ThinOS supports adaptive transport using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), and does not support adaptive transport
through User Datagram Protocol (UDP) except the audio channel. For more information about Adaptive transport, see
docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-virtual-apps-desktops/technical-overview/hdx/adaptive-transport.html.
For more information about Citrix Receiver features, see the Citrix documentation at www.citrix.com.
Citrix HDX RealTime Multimedia Engine or RealTime Optimization
Pack
HDX RealTime Optimization Pack (RTOP) provides a scalable solution to deliver audio-video conferencing and Voice over
Internet Protocol (VoIP) enterprise telecommunication by using Microsoft Skype for Business. The Optimization Pack supports
XenDesktop and XenApp environments to users on ThinOS devices. For more information about HDX RealTime Optimization
Pack, see Citrix documentation.
This section provides information about supported platforms for RealTime Multimedia Engine (RTME), installation of RTME
