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.
