Hi Curt
This protocol requires a client running a full OS. Sun Ray seeks to
solve the problems that maintaining a fat client or a client with an
embedded OS typically presents. THINC might be super thin, but I still
have a box with software to maintain on the user's desk.
The good news is that with SRSS 3.0 the Sun Ray protcol is much more
efficient over low bandwidth networks than in earlier versions. (It's
my understanding that a fully patched SRSS 2.0 has the same low
bandwidth features as 3.0 - someone else from Sun can probably confirm
that.)

Hi,
I ran across a paper about development of a thin client protocol similar
to the Sun Ray, but more efficient.
*THINC*: A Remote Display Architecture for Thin-Client Computing
http://www.ncl.cs.columbia.edu/publications/cucs-027-04.pdf
I'm curious to see if any of the techniques in the paper might find
their way into future SRSS versions. Given the existing Sun Ray
hardware, are any of them possible? Are any of them worthwhile?
Thanks,
Curt
