Cloud desktop represents an outstanding product in the domain of cloud computing, which refers to the desktop cloud, desktop virtualization and virtual desktop. Cloud desktop explores the virtualization technology to concentrate computing resources, which delivers traditional computer desktops (operating system interfaces) or applications deployed in the pooled computing resources to polymorphic terminals through the Internet. As a distinctive product of cloud computing, cloud desktop has been a hot topic since its inception. Today, the virtualized resource pool of cloud computing achieves the elastic and dynamic expansion of resources, which brings the desktop system from an independent personal computer to a centralized physical server. Consequently, the great improvement in basic network conditions makes it possible to transmit high-quality desktops over the network. There are two key factors for cloud desktops, one of which is the virtualization technology on the server side and the other one, which is the transmission protocol of cloud desktops. The cloud desktop transmission protocol mainly completes the transmission of graphics, images and audio from the server to the user terminal. The transmission of input information from the user terminal, called DaaS (Desktop-as-a-Service), includes the input information of peripherals such as a mouse, keyboard, printer and so on. The efficiency of the transmission protocol determines the basic delivery capability of the cloud desktop, while the bearer protocol and graphics and image processing methods in the transmission protocol determine the interactive experience of the cloud desktop. Different protocols have their characteristics and applicable space. This paper spies on application and transport layer communication protocols to meet DaaS communication requirements. This paper describes the internal mechanism of various transport protocols applicable to a cloud desktop from the principle level and points out the pros and cons and the current application environment. It can be seen that these methods solve the transmission efficiency of burst traffic, improve user experience and reduce bandwidth consumption, which are the development direction of transmission protocols.
