Offloading RDP traffic

Offloading RDP traffic

FortiOS supports NP6 offloading of Reliable Data Protocol (RDP) traffic. RDP is a network transport protocol that optimizes remote loading, debugging, and bulk transfer of images and data. RDP traffic uses Assigned Internet Protocol number 27 and is defined in RFC 908 and updated in RFC 1151. If your network is processing a lot of RDP traffic, offloading it can improve overall network performance.

You can use the following command to enable or disable NP6 RDP offloading. RDP offloading is enabled by default.

config system npu

set rdp-offload {disable | enable}

end
