A system and method for optimizing processing of keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) data in an internet protocol (IP) network environment receives via public interface access requests from users directed to KVM targets. The system includes a public and private virtual local area network (VLAN) linked by a bonded interface and general-purpose and optimized application containers. The general-purpose container initiates a KVM session and creates a network address translation (NAT) route (associated with an IP address visible to the user) and a dedicated interface via which the user may send KVM data directly and through the optimized application container, which prioritizes KVM data so it can pass without preemption through the private VLAN and to its intended KVM target in real-time or near real-time. The NAT route and external IP address may be reused for multiple access sessions to different KVM targets from the same user.
