In various embodiments, methods and systems are disclosed for integrating a remote presentation protocol with a datagram based transport. In one embodiment, an integrated protocol is configured to support lossless or reduced loss transport based on Retransmission (ARQ) combined with Forward Error Correction (FEC). The protocol involves encoding and decoding of data packets including feedback headers and FEC packets, continuous measurement of RTT, RTO and packet delay, dynamically evaluating loss probability to determine and adjust the ratio of FEC, congestion management based on dynamically detecting increase in packet delay, and fast data transmission rate ramp-up based on detecting a decrease in packet delay.
