RDP 5.5

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) 5.5 replaces RDP 5.1 and provides
the following functionality:

Unicode compatibility, which enables you to send Unicode
values of characters as virtual key codes to the keyboard input.

RDP supports operation in any environment that allows network
localization, automatic disconnect, and remote configuration.

Variable bandwidth allocation through client-side bitmap caching
and optional compression for low-bandwidth connections,
significantly improving performance over low-bandwidth
connections.

Multichannel-capable protocol that permits separate virtual
channels for carrying presentation data, serial-device
communication, licensing information, and heavily encrypted
data.

Remote control which lets the support staff view and control a
Terminal Services session. Sharing input and display graphics
between two Terminal Services sessions lets support staff
diagnose and resolve problems remotely.

Network Load Balancing (NLB), available in Windows 2000
Advanced Server and Datacenter Server.

High color 8-bit, 16-bit, and 24-bit graphics are supported if they
are also supported in the graphics driver.

Clipboard sharing, also known as clipboard redirection. The local
clipboard becomes a part of the clipboard viewer chain in the
remote session, allowing the user to copy and paste between
applications running in both the remote session and on the local
client.
