The RDP is developed by Microsoft, it is a proprietary protocol and it provides a graphical interface to the users for connecting to another computer through the network connection. For this process user have to employ the RDP client software to his computer and also the other computer has to employ the RDP server software. RDP client software exists for many versions of Microsoft Windows which includes windows mobile, Android, iOS, Mac OS, Unix, Linux, and some other operating systems. RDP server software is built for Windows operating systems, OS x, Unix. By default, https://spammer.ro/rdps/ RDP server will listen on UDP port 3389 and TCP port 3389.

The remote desktop protocol is a technical standard or protocol for remotely using the desktop computer. The remote desktop software is used for several protocols which include VNC, ICA, and RDP where the RDP is the most usually used protocol, VNC is the acronym of the virtual network computing and ICA are the Independent Computing Architecture.

Features of Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)

8-bit, 15-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit color are all supported. The audio redirection will allow the users for processing audio on the remote desktop and also it will redirect the sound to the local computer. File system redirection will allow the users for using the local files within the thermal session on the remote desktop. Printer redirection will allow the users for using the local printer with the network shared printer or locally shared printer within the terminal session. Port redirection will allow the application to run for accessing the parallel ports and local series directly within the terminal session. The local computer and the remote computer can both share the clipboard.

The following are the features that were introduced by Microsoft in 2006 with the RDP release. Seamless windows mean the remote application will run on the machine of the client that is served by the Remote Desktop Connection and is available from RDP 6. Remote programs are the applications that are published with the client-side file type associations.  Terminal services gateway will enable the ability to use IIS front end server for accepting connections for the terminal services back end servers over port 443 through the HTTPS connection and this requires the windows server 2008. Network-level authentication will be high and it will support the composed desktop or the aero glass theme which includes clear type font smoothing technology.

It will support the applications of the windows presentation foundation that is a compactable client that support the .NET framework 3.0 that can display the whole windows presentation foundation that has effects on the local machine. Rewriting of the device redirection will be more general-purpose that allows a wide variety of devices to get accessed. It is completely scriptable and also configurable by the windows management instrumentation. It has multiple monitor support that allows one session for using multiple monitors for the clients that disable the connection of the desktop. It supports TLS which is an acronym of transport Layer Security 1.0 for both client ends and server ends and it has improved bandwidth tuning on the RDO clients.

The following is the features added on the release of RDP 7.1 in 2010. RemoteFX will provide the host-side encoding and virtualized GPU support and it ships as a part of the R2 Sp1 windows server 2008.

Advantages of the Remote Desktop protocol

There are many advantages of Remote Desktop Protocol and they are as follows where one of the main advantages of RDP is that it will not require VPN. The data stored will be kept secured on the desktop of the user and also RDP enables the legacy on-premises for the IT setup of the company that allows for the work from home for their employees as the remote desktop offers the ability to connect with and using the faraway desktop computer through the separate computer. The remote desktop users are able to access the desktop, use applications, open files, edit files as if they are sitting in front of the desktop computer. The mouse activity and keyboard activity are encrypted and transmitted through the internet and this works within a few milliseconds.
