Short for Routing and Remote Access Service, RRAS was designed by Microsoft to allow users to build applications that can take advantage of the routing and remote access service capabilities of the Windows operating system. RRAS is an API and server software, designed to run in a Windows Server environment.
RRAS was first released with Windows 2000 and later made available for Windows NT 4.0 via a download. Using RRAS, a server could be set up to be a multi-protocol router, a demand-dial router and a remote access server. Previously, routing and remote access services worked separately, but with the advent of RRAS and the use of point-to-point protocol (PPP), these two services could be combined and work together.
