RDP is Windows Telnet Equivalent. Unlike Telnet, it's bandwidth needs are huge in comparison. We we do web development remotely everything rendered in the browser has to be sent back to remote client. It doesn't do the browser rendering per se, it just sends the images back at same rate browser renders.

I worked for 12 years inside IBM itself as software developer. I can assure you that any of their mainframes or midrange computer easily handled hundreds or even thousands of dumb terminals. There are two reasons for this 1. No company does I/O better than IBM 2. 3270 and 5250 don't resend entire screen everytime, the just send changes.
