Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS), a
Microsoft API that makes it possible to create
applications to administer the routing and remote access service capabilities of
the operating system. RRAS makes it possible
for a computer 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).
