Amazon WorkSpaces WSP enables desktop traffic over TCP/UDP port 443
News
The article discusses Amazon WorkSpaces enabling desktop traffic over TCP/UDP port 443. This new feature allows WorkSpaces DCV-enabled desktop traffic to use both TCP and UDP protocols over the standard port 443, which is commonly open for web traffic.
Specifically, the article covers:
- WorkSpaces client applications will prioritize UDP (QUIC) for optimal performance, but can fallback to TCP if UDP is blocked.
- The WorkSpaces web client can connect over either TCP port 4195 or 443, using port 443 exclusively if port 4195 is blocked.
- This feature simplifies network administration by eliminating the need to open unique ports for WorkSpaces traffic.
- The new functionality is available in all AWS regions where Amazon WorkSpaces is offered, with no additional cost.
