Reliable connectivity is essential for delivering a productive Cloud PC and virtual desktop experience. Network variability—whether caused by packet loss, ISP instability, restrictive firewalls, prox...
Great to see RDP Multipath with redundant TCP reach GA. Anything that improves session resiliency for AVD and Windows 365 users is a welcome addition. However, one area that still feels lacking is visibility and reporting.
In Azure Virtual Desktop Insights, it's often difficult to understand how successfully Multipath is actually being delivered to users. For example, I frequently see a large number of connections categorized as "Unknown" transport type. Based on our troubleshooting and network analysis, I suspect many of these sessions are actually using UDP Multipath or UDP (Relay) Multipath, but the current reporting provides no way to confirm that.
As a result, it's challenging to answer basic operational questions such as:
What percentage of sessions are using Multipath?
How many are using direct UDP versus relay UDP?
How many are falling back to redundant TCP?
Are recent network or firewall changes improving Multipath adoption?
The networking improvements are excellent, but the telemetry hasn't kept pace. Better visibility into the active transport paths and Multipath state would greatly help customers measure adoption, validate network changes, and demonstrate the value of these new capabilities. Until then, we're left making educated guesses based on incomplete data.
Has Microsoft considered adding more detailed Multipath reporting to AVD Insights or Log Analytics?
