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.
