PC-Duo connection types
PC-Duo services are performed over service connections between a PC-Duo Master
(with appropriate access rights) and a PC-Duo Host. Service connections are established
on demand, when a PC-Duo Master requests a service from a PC-Duo Host.
PC-Duo supports several different types of remote access connections:

RDP session sharing: Follow the active session
PC-Duo connections can be used to share an active RDP session in real-time.
If PC-Duo Host is running on a desktop-class operating system (e.g. Windows 7), and
there is an active/connected RDP session being hosted on that computer, then the Host
will automatically capture and provide input control to that RDP session. In essence, the
Host will capture what the remote RDP session user is seeing, not what the local physical
console on that machine is showing (probably the Windows login screen).
When there is no active/connected RDP session being hosted on that computer, or if an
active/connected RDP session is stopped, the Host will automatically capture and provide
input control to the session running on the computer and being displayed on the local
console. The Host will follow the active session as it moves from RDP user back to the
local console.
Note: This feature only applies to desktop-class operating systems, which support only
one active session at a time. Server-class operating systems (e.g. Windows Server 2003
or Server 2008) can support multiple sessions simultaneously via Terminal Services; use
the Terminal Services support in the Host to capture and/or provide input control to one
or more sessions on server-class OS.
Peer-to-peer connections
When a computer with PC-Duo Master establishes a direct connection to a computer with
PC-Duo Host, the connection that is established is a peer-to-peer connection.
