'''Routing and Remote Access Service''' ('''RRAS''') is a Microsoft [[API]] and server software make it possible to create applications to administer the routing and remote access service capabilities of the operating system, to function as a network router, and developers can also use RRAS to implement routing protocols. The RRAS server functionality follows and builds upon the [[Remote Access Service]] (RAS).<ref name="RRAS MSDN Library">[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa446768], RRAS MSDN Library</ref>

# Multiprotocol [[Router]] - The computer running RRAS can route IP, [[IPX]], and [[AppleTalk]] simultaneously. All routable protocols are configured from the same administrative utility.

# [[Dial-on-demand routing|Demand-Dial Router]] - IP and IPX can be routed over on-demand or persistent [[Wide area network|WAN]] links such as analog phone lines or [[ISDN]], or over [[VPN]] connections.

# [[Remote Access Server]] - provides remote access connectivity to dial-up or VPN remote access clients that use IP,IPX, AppleTalk, or [[NetBEUI]].

Line 19:

#VPN enforcement for [[Network Access Protection]] - Restricts vpn connections to only 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 government security requirements. In addition to removing algorithms which could not be strengthened.<ref name="Whats New">[http://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>
