| | Understanding the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06) |
 | | As RDP is an extension of the core T.Share protocol, several other capabilities are retained as part of the RDP, such as the architectural features necessary to support multipoint (multiparty sessions). |
 | | The Terminal Server device driver coordinates and manages the RDP protocol activity and is made up of smaller components, an RDP driver (Wdtshare.sys) for UI transfer, compression, encryption, framing, and so on, and a transport driver (Tdtcp.sys) to package the protocol onto the underlying network protocol, TCP/IP. |
 | | RDP, being completely independent of its transport stack, means that we can add other transport drivers for other network protocols as customers needs for them grow, with little or no significant changes to the foundational parts of the protocol. |
