Mykyta,
RDP is still in use (I know of companies using it). It is
used heavily as a transport for a "popular brand" of NAS for
dial access call control and was a precursor to MEGACO/H.248.
RDP was the initial transport used for gateway control (such
as SGCP) until SCTP was developed. Many commercial gateways
still support these older pre-standard (to MEGACO) control
protocols. Some older devices still provisioned in the network
only support the older protocols.
Yah, I know it was EXPERIMENTAL, but we had nothing before SCTP
that would fit the bill. Its limitations was one of the driving
forces behind developing SCTP. One of the original protocol
attempts abandonned before SCTP was based on RDP.
Please leave RDP alone.
