Question : SSh tuneling

Could someone please explain ssh tunneling to me.

I tried googling a bit but if someone could explain it themselves or point me in the direction of some good example that would be great. Hopefully you can answer any quick questions I have too.

I am particularly interested in tunneling RDP through SSH.

Thanks for you time
