Parallels RAS: RDP Shortpath
Channel: Parallels
Date: 2023-03-28

Connections to Azure Virtual Desktop use Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or User Datagram Protocol (UDP). RDP Shortpath is a feature of Azure Virtual Desktop that establishes a direct UDP-based transport between the client and the session host. Parallels RAS supports RDP Shortpath for managed networks and public networks. 

Parallels RAS allows easy configuration of RDP Shortpath including the ephemeral port range that RDP Shortpath for Public Networks uses, without relying on group policy objects or scripts. 

RDP Shortpath allows organizations to achieve the best performance by reducing the round-trip times--especially useful for latency-sensitive applications such as CAD/CAM applications. Easily configure RDP Shortpath from Parallels RAS and perform advanced configuration of RDP Shortpath.
