Can x11vnc be used as a VNC reflector/repeater to improve performance for the case of a large number of simultaneous VNC viewers (e.g. classroom broadcasting or a large demo)?
Yes, as of Feb/2007 there is the “-reflect host:N” option to connect to the VNC server “host:N” (either another x11vnc or any other VNC server) and re-export it. VNC viewers then connect to the x11vnc(s) running -reflect. The -reflect option is the same as: “-rawfb vnc:host:N”. See the -rawfb description under “VNC HOST” for more details. You can replace “host:N” with “listen” or “listen:port” for reverse connections. One can set up a number of such reflectors/repeaters to spread the resource usage around, e.g.: C ——-<-------| C -------<-------| C -------<-------|---- R -----| C -------<-------| | C -------<-------| | | C -------<-------| | C -------<-------| | C -------<-------|---- R -----| C -------<-------| | C -------<-------| | |====== S C -------<-------| | C -------<-------| | C -------<-------|---- R -----| C -------<-------| | C -------<-------| | | C -------<-------| | C -------<-------| | C -------<-------|---- R -----| C -------<-------| C -------<-------| Where "S" is
