Knowing which connection device to use for host sessions
A connection device is the interface that handles communication between the
host and remote computers. A host computer can wait for a connection from two
devices. For example, you can set up your office computer to wait for a network
connection from other co-workers or a direct connection from your laptop
computer. A host can accept only one connection at a time. When a remote
establishes a connection on one device, the other device is not available until the
session ends.
Table 4-2 provides information to assist you in selecting a connection device.
