1.4 Relationship to Other Protocols

The Remote Assistance Protocol assumes that a Remote Assistance connection string between two computers has been transferred using the Remote Assistance Initiation [MS-RAI] or Remote Assistance Initiation over PNRP [MS-RAIOP] protocols. The Remote Assistance Protocol also assumes that underlying protocols, specifically the Remote Desktop Protocol: Basic Connectivity and Graphics Remoting [MS-RDPBCGR] and the Remote Desktop Protocol: Graphics Devices Interfaces (GDI) Acceleration Extension [MS-RDPEGDI], will be available to transport the protocol messages after the basic Remote Assistance connection is made by the Remote Assistance protocol, using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) ([RFC793]).

No other protocol is dependent on the Remote Assistance Protocol.
