Hi BloF Though effectively the University of Trier seems to offer a very complete package , I still think that your project is very interesting for us ( Fusion Research centers) , provided that it is integrated in official windows RealVNC or ( and if possible ) in Unix RealVnc . This multicast added or not to Unicast could be an option in WinVnc setup . VNC has still the big advantage that it is a precious and so versatile open source module that we can include in many remote work application.
Why are we so interested ? Fusion association use VNC as a very convenient way to broadcast for example powerpoint scientific presentation between various Fusion research centers ( Italy , France , England, Canada ) the slides of the lecturer which are shown by a window PC are generally relayed by a Unix VNC proxy on which all participants can connect , sound and voice are carried via VRVS ( which is a superset of mbone tools VIC and RAT with even an option of using unicast VNC ) , see <http://www.vrvs.org/> www.vrvs.org I think that VRVS team could then also be interested by your project . . We started here a project of multicast MP3 local streaming , which was planned to be used in conjunction with VNC to broadcast locally conferences inside our subnet . If MP3 streaming gave a very good sound ( for human voice , not for music ) with only 16 or 24 Kbits seconds , the fact that several unicast associated VNC connections could overload the network obliged us to leave the project unfinished. I send also copy of your message to all my contacts which will be also be probably interested.

Like a teacher could show something on his/her computer and all the students would see it on their computer. I am committed to do this as a project, and I'm afraid its not applicable becuase my program (which is like a client) won't be able to connect to the server on the same computer (the 127.0.0.1 error?). Please help, and also I would like to hear your opinion about this idea. Waiting for your Answer, Thanks, BloF.
