What is RDP?

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a proprietary communications protocol developed by Microsoft for Windows-based applications running on a server.

The protocol provides users with a graphical interface to connect to another computer over a network connection. It allows network administrators to remotely diagnose and resolve problems encountered by individual subscribers.

In order for the system to work accurately, the other computer must run the Remote Desktop Protocol server software.
