{{Short description|Microsoft API and server software}}

'''Routing and Remote Access Service''' ('''RRAS''') is a Microsoft [[API]] and [[Server (computing)|server]] software that makes it possible to create applications to administer the [[Router (computing)|routing]] and remote access service capabilities of the [[operating system]], to function as a network router. Developers can also use RRAS to implement routing protocols. The RRAS server functionality follows and builds upon the [[remote access service|Remote Access Service]] (RAS) in [[Windows NT 4.0]].<ref name="RRAS MSDN Library">[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa446768 RRAS MSDN Library]</ref> RRAS was introduced with Windows 2000 and offered as a download for Windows NT 4.0.

==Overview==

RRAS was introduced with [[Windows 2000]] and offered as a download for Windows NT 4.0.

* Multiprotocol [[Router (computing)|router]] - The computer running RRAS can route [[Internet Protocol|IP]], [[IPX]], and [[AppleTalk]] simultaneously. All routable protocols are configured from the same administrative utility. RRAS included two [[unicast]] routing protocols, [[Routing Information Protocol]] (RIP) and [[Open Shortest Path First]] (OSPF) as well as [[Internet Group Management Protocol|IGMP]] routing and forwarding features for [[IP multicast]]ing.

==Features introduced in Windows Server 2008==

*Server Manager -– Application used to assist system administrators with installation, configuration, and management of other RRAS features.

*[[Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol]]

*VPN enforcement for [[Network Access Protection]] -– Limits VPN connections to defined network services.

*[[IPv6]] support -– added [[Point-to-Point Protocol|PPPv6]], [[L2TP]], [[DHCPv6]], and [[RADIUS]] technologies allowing them to work over IPv6.

*New [[cryptographic]] support -– strengthened [[encryption]] algorithms to comply with U.S. government security requirements, in addition to removing algorithms which could not be strengthened.<ref name="Whats New">[https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730711(WS.10).aspx#BKMK_3 What's New in Routing and Remote Access in Windows Server 2008]</ref>
