Rras Root Enumerator -

Author: Network Systems Research Group Version: 1.0 Date: April 2026 Abstract The Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) is a core component of Microsoft Windows Server, enabling network routing, VPN termination, NAT, and dial-up services. Management and troubleshooting of RRAS often require low-level enumeration of virtual network interfaces, routing tables, demand-dial interfaces, and IP pools. This paper introduces the RRAS Root Enumerator — a logical and programmatic construct designed to expose the hierarchical root objects of RRAS configuration and runtime state. We define its architecture, enumeration algorithms, interaction with the Windows Registry and RPC interfaces, and practical applications for automation, monitoring, and forensic analysis. 1. Introduction RRAS operates as a service ( RemoteAccess ) managing multiple protocol routers (IP, IPX, AppleTalk historically). Administrators interact with it via rrasmgmt.msc , netsh routing , or the Windows API ( Rtm , Mpr , Rpc ). However, hidden or deeply nested objects — such as dynamic demand-dial interfaces, BGP peers, or packet filters — are difficult to enumerate systematically.
