Re: VNC very chatty on the local net

[Joe D]

I've noticed something with VNC as far as traffic (and I could be wrong). It 
seems that the more bandwidth VNC has at its disposal the more it uses and 
also steals from any other application using it. Which creates huge lag 
spikes in anything that depends on somewhat high bandwidth to work 
effectively (Web, FTP, game server etc...) You might want to look in the VNC 
properties to see if there is any kind of bandwidth throttling to force it 
to use less. I've never done any extensive network testing with it to have a 
better explanation. You might have to modify the source code to get it to 
work to a little better (but that's a little drastic).

Subject: VNC very chatty on the local net


I am running the VNC server on a a Mac (MacOS 9) and the viewer on a
Linux box (RedHat 9).  On my router's LED's, I see almost continuous
traffic even if I am not viewing the viewer (i.e., I have a different
virtual desktop selected).  This traffic stops if I suspend the
viewer (go to the shell window I launched it from and hit ctrl-Z).
Naturally, there has to be network traffic when the screen is being
updated, but when nothing at all is happening on the screen, shouldn't
the LAN be relatively quiet?
Note: the VNC server is a relatively old one, because it's the only
one that appears to be available for MacOS 9; the reader is new.
