Citrix changing default ICA Protocol from TCP to UDP Q4 2017
för 7 år sedan | Rasmus Kindberg
For XenApp/XenDesktop versions released in Q4 2017 or later (version 7.16 or newer), the default protocol for ICA traffic will be changed from ICA TCP to Enlightened Data Transport (EDT). EDT is a recently-developed protocol from Citrix and is UDP based, unlike traditional ICA which is is TCP based. One of the reasons Citrix developed EDT is because TCP protocols have some drawbacks related to Congestion Control, leading to sub par performance in certain scenarios. Citrix realizes however that UDP traffic is not always allowed, or configured, in Citrix environments, so they added a new feature called 'Adaptive Transport' which will try EDT protocol (UDP) first, and if that does not work it will fallback to using regular ICA over TCP.
