Remote desktop protocols

The main remote desktop protocols in use are:

  • Virtual Network Computing (VNC) - a cross-platform protocol
  • Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) - a Windows-specific protocol featuring audio and remote printing
  • NX technology (NX) - a newer cross-platform protocol featuring audio and remote printing
  • Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) - a proprietary protocol designed by Citrix Systems
  • X Window System (X11) - a well-established cross-platform protocol mainly used for displaying local applications, but can also be used remotely
