¿What is RDP? The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft that enables users to connect to remote Windows-based systems from other devices. RDP is used to provide remote access to a graphical user interface (GUI) of Windows-based systems, allowing users to interact with the system as if they were physically present at the computer. The protocol allows users to access a remote desktop, remote applications, and other resources on a remote Windows-based system. RDP is designed to work over a network and operates on TCP/IP. The protocol is typically configured to use port 3389, but it can be configured to use other ports as well. RDP uses a combination of bitmap compression, caching, and other techniques to reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted over the network, which helps to minimize latency and optimize performance. RDP supports a variety of features, including encryption and authentication, clipboard sharing, printer redirection,
