 RDP Shortpath establishes a direct UDP-based transport between a local device Windows App or the Remote Desktop app on supported platforms and session host in Azure Virtual Desktop.
 
 By default, the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) tries to establish a remote session using UDP and uses a TCP-based reverse connect transport as a fallback connection mechanism. UDP-based transport offers better connection reliability and more consistent latency. TCP-based reverse connect transport provides the best compatibility with various networking configurations and has a high success rate for establishing RDP connections.

+   1. An *indirect* UDP connection using the Traversal Using Relay NAT (TURN) protocol with a relay between a client and session host. 
 
 The transport used for RDP Shortpath is based on the [Universal Rate Control Protocol (URCP)](https://www.microsoft.com/research/publication/urcp-universal-rate-control-protocol-for-real-time-communication-applications/). URCP enhances UDP with active monitoring of the network conditions and provides fair and full link utilization. URCP operates at low delay and loss levels as needed.
