{{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>
