Correct?
yes. very correct. there could be even more viewers (ie think of a training session). > Seems like it might suffer from performance issues due to the two > level remoting. that's not the case. all vnc traffic is often within the same server (there are many X servers on a sunray server). if you run a sunray cluster (sunray server group), the vnc traffic goes between those sunray servers only. obviously the sunray clients update their displays also, which is traffic from the sunray server to the sunray client. but that's the regular case anyway. > UI responsiveness is important to my users, and this > is why I'm looking at the Sun Ray solution in the first place. sunray technology IS the most reposive solution you can have. server->client traffic is going via UDP. all other solutions (i know) use TCP, which has its clear disadvantages in remote desktop environments. > I've not been able to use SRSS or SunRay yet, you should be using it :-) > so maybe this is a silly > question, but: Since I'm only planning to use *nix desktop sessions, > can the SRSS simply connect the secondary SunRay to the same X server > instance/display as the primary user? for each sunray session an X server (Xnewt) is started on a sunray server. this X server transmits it's framebuffer to a single sunray client only. the ALP (Appliance Link Protocol) is not (yet?) designed to transmit to 2 clients. the clients tell the server that they have received (or maybe lost) traffic. the server would get confused (current implementation, as of my knowledge), if more then 1 client would send such replies. ... and what to do with more then 1 mouse pointer? ... and what to do with usb sticks in more then 1 sunray? ... and what to do with audio output/input with more then 1 sunray? i am sure this could be solved, but currently you stick with x11vnc. performance is fine, as long as you don't do extensive 3D or video. hope this helps, niki _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
