Will I be able to use TurboVNC at 720p 60fps (or ideally at > 1080p 60fps) with a 5 Mbps upload speed?
If you aren't using Java Web Start, then basically the setup is: - Install the server package (which is usually a one-liner) - Install the client package - Start a server session (also one-liner) - Start the viewer and connect to the server Setting up VirtualGL is by far the hardest part. TurboVNC doesn't do fixed-frame-rate streaming. It does fixed-quality streaming. With the low-quality preset I mentioned earlier, which is roughly equivalent to a quantization parameter of 31 in H.264, the compression ratio is anywhere between 20:1 and 200:1, depending on the specifics of the workload. It would be really helpful if you'd describe exactly what you're trying to do, because the correct answer depends greatly on the type of application you are planning to run. If it's a video application, then H.264 probably will do a better job than the TurboVNC encoding methods, because that's what H.264 is designed for. However, the analysis is extremely multivariate, so it's impossible to say anything meaningful about this without knowing more specifics about your application. Suffice it to say that, because there are a few types of applications that would benefit from H.264, I'm looking into adding support for it, but that support doesn't exist right now in our project. I'm also not sure why you're mentioning "upload speed", as the performance of remote display solutions on bandwidth-constrained networks will be mostly governed by the download speed.
