Understanding Horizon Connections

I’ve had a several conversations over the past few weeks about how a VMware Horizon Client connects to a resource. Some of these exchanges were to help determine the best architecture, some were to understand the traffic flow and network ports, and others were to help in troubleshooting. I thought it would be worthwhile explaining how this works for internal and external connections, with the aid of some diagrams. Although I use VMware Horizon 7, including its Horizon Connection Server, most, if not all, of what is described here is applicable to VMware Horizon Cloud as well.
