Explanation

RDP Shortpath establishes a UDP-based transport between a local device Windows App or the Remote Desktop app on supported platforms and session host in Azure Virtual Desktop. By default, the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) begins a TCP-based reverse connect transport, then tries to establish a remote session using UDP. If the UDP connection succeeds the TCP connection drops, otherwise the TCP connection is used as a fallback connection mechanism. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/rdp-shortpath https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/well-architected/azure-virtual-desktop/networking
