Remote Access Services
<communications> (RAS) A service provided by Windows NT which allows most
of the services which would be available on a network to be accessed over a
modem link. The service includes support for dialup and logon, and then presents
the same network interface as the normal network drivers (albeit slightly
slower!). It is not necessary to run Windows NT on the client - there are client
versions for other Windows operating systems.

Remote Desktop Protocol
<protocol> (RDP) A Microsoft protocol that provides remote display and
input for Windows.
RDP's video driver renders display output by sending packets to the client which
translates them into corresponding Microsoft Win32 graphics device interface API
calls. Client mouse and keyboard events are redirected from the client to
virtual keyboard and mouse drivers on the server.
RDP 4.0 was introduced with Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition.
Windows 2000 Terminal Services included RDP 5.0. The Terminal Services Advanced
Client (TSAC), an RDP client based on an ActiveX control, also supports RDP 5.0.
RDP 5.0 provides enhanced performance over low-speed connections. Windows XP
uses RDP 5.1 and includes Remote Desktop Web Connection, which is an updated
version of the TSAC.
RDP extends the ITU T.120 protocols, allowing separate virtual channels for
device communication and presentation data from the server, as well as encrypted
mouse and keyboard data.

remote echo
<communications> (Obsolete: "full-duplex") A mode of operation of
communicating programs or devices in which the sending system does not display
the characters the user enters, but only sends them to the remote system which
then "echoes" them back to be displayed to the user. This lets the operator see
not only typing errors, but also transmission errors. This is now the usual mode
of most systems with remote users.
Contrast: local echo.

Remote Job Entry
<operating system> (RJE) A system, widely used in the mid/late 1960s, for
submitting jobs to mainframes like the IBM 360 under OS/MFT. Communication with
the computer operator was via the keyboard and later via CRTs.

<networking> A client-server program and protocol that provides an
interactivel command line interface to a remote computer, using a protocol over
a computer network, simulating a locally attached terminal.
rlogin is the BSD Unix program and protocol for this, telnet is an earlier, more
widely implemented protocol.

remote monitoring
<protocol> (RMON) A network management protocol that allows network
information to be gathered at a single computer. Whereas SNMP gathers network
data from a single type of Management Information Base (MIB), RMON 1 defines
nine additional MIBs that provide a much richer set of data about network usage.
For RMON to work, network devices, such as hubs and switches, must be designed
to support it.
The newest version of RMON, RMON 2, provides data about traffic at the network
layer in addition to the physical layer. This allows administrators to analyse
traffic by protocol.

Remote Procedure Call
<networking, programming> (RPC) A protocol which allows a program running
on one host to cause code to be executed on another host without the programmer
needing to explicitly code for this. RPC is an easy and popular paradigm for
implementing the client-server model of distributed computing. An RPC is
initiated by the caller (client) sending request message to a remote system (the
server) to execute a certain procedure using arguments supplied. A result
message is returned to the caller. There are many variations and subtleties in
various implementations, resulting in a variety of different (incompatible) RPC
protocols.
Sun RPC is defined in RFC 1057 and ONC RPC in RFC 1831.

Remote Reference Layer
<protocol> (RRL) Part of Java's Remote Method Invocation protocol. RRL
exists in both the RMI client and server. It is used by the stub or skeleton
protocol layer and uses the transport layer. RRL is reponsible for
transport-independent functioning of RMI, such as connection management or
unicast/multicast object invocation.
