Since VNC seems to be an increasingly popular way of displaying PC data (PPT
slides, data visualization, etc), I was wondering if anyone has played around
at all with VNC over multicast. I found at least one package that looks
very promising at
http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ziewer/MulticastVNC/
It's a viewer that supports proxying a standard unicast server to other
multicast viewers, so you could do something like
Standard Unicast
VNC Server
^ ^
| +------ Standard Unicast VNC Client(s)
|
MulticastVNC
^
|
|
+---+---+
| | |
| | |
Multiple MulticastVNC
Clients
The biggest question, as far as I see it, would be how to manage the multicast
address/port that each VNC server uses within a given room.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this or any other multicast VNC?
