1.3 Overview

The Remote Desktop Protocol: Basic Connectivity and Graphics Remoting Protocol (as specified in [MS-RDPBCGR]) enables the remote display of desktop and application content. To effectively implement an application-sharing or collaborative solution, additional information is conveyed to keep the participants apprised of who else is involved, in addition to which applications or windows are being shared. The Remote Desktop Protocol: Multiparty Virtual Channel Extension defines a set of messages that are used to communicate the information between the participants and to signal the occurrence of significant events.
