Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)
wikipedia:Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft, which provides a user with a graphical interface to connect to another computer over a network connection. The user employs RDP client software for this purpose, while the other computer must run RDP server software. RDP server software is not enabled by default.
RDP server since version 8 (Windows Server 2012) support automatic selection of communication transport protocol using TCP [1], UDP[2] or both on port 3389 depending on communication line on port 3389. Microsoft allows to select if you want to use both protocols or one of them using gpedit.msc command[3].
