IronRDP: a Rust implementation of Microsoft's RDP protocol

I know it's not made for games, but the thing is I am seeing Parsec-level performance and quality from RustDesk which why I am liking it so much.

With modern hardware with RustDesk you are getting HEVC or even AV1 hardware encoded high framerate stream of your desktop.

I have never seen this kind of performance through MS RDP personally.

RDP also supports streaming regions, including the entire desktop, as hardware-encoded video. It was introduced 9 years ago[1].

As for performance, I've been playing full-screen games over it. Latency sucked when I was literally on the opposite side of the earth but if the bandwidth was there it worked fine.

From work to home RDP is typically indistinguishable from being local for me.
