1.1 Glossary

  • Article

This document uses the following terms:

audio format: A data structure that is used to define waveform-audio data. The actual structure of individual formats is opaque to the underlying transport protocol. For more information, see [MSDN-AUDIOFORMAT].

dynamic virtual channel: A transport used for lossless communication between an RDP client and a server component over a main data connection, as specified in [MS-RDPEDYC].

Dynamic Virtual Channel (DVC) Listener (or Listener): A named endpoint registered at the TS client during initialization of a DVC.  DVC listeners are service providers to the applications that run on a TS server.

globally unique identifier (GUID): A term used interchangeably with universally unique identifier (UUID) in Microsoft protocol technical documents (TDs). Interchanging the usage of these terms does not imply or require a specific algorithm or mechanism to generate the value. Specifically, the use of this term does not imply or require that the algorithms described in [RFC4122] or [C706] have to be used for generating the GUID. See also universally unique identifier (UUID).

HRESULT: An integer value that indicates the result or status of an operation. A particular HRESULT can have different meanings depending on the protocol using it. See [MS-ERREF] section 2.1 and specific protocol documents for further details.

little-endian: Multiple-byte values that are byte-ordered with the least significant byte stored in the memory location with the lowest address.

protocol data unit (PDU): Information that is delivered as a unit among peer entities of a network and that can contain control information, address information, or data. For more information on remote procedure call (RPC)-specific PDUs, see [C706] section 12.

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client: The client that initiated a remote desktop connection.

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server: The server to which a client initiated a remote desktop connection.

Wave Capture Device: A device that captures audio to the computer.

MAY, SHOULD, MUST, SHOULD NOT, MUST NOT: These terms (in all caps) are used as defined in [RFC2119]. All statements of optional behavior use either MAY, SHOULD, or SHOULD NOT.
