You can assign priorities to network traffic across multiple connections for a session in routers and switches that support QoS. XenDesktop ICA/HDX traffic uses four TCP connections, and one UDP connection carries the ICA/HDX traffic between the user device and the server. 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.
