It's the app protocol using the bandwidth, its not the VPN protocol,
that's the difference. RDP only transfers compressed images, so you'll
need to model the traffic to see which is more efficient. But if you use
RDP in a VPN, you have secure and minimal bandwidth use -- not to say
that RDP by itself isn't secure, because it is.
