|
|
<P><EM>Low-Bandwidth X</EM> (LBX) attempts to recognize that in this day
|
|
and age, not everyone will be a fast LAN hop or two away from the system
|
|
that they are running their applications on.
|
|
<P>The X protocol can generate an extraordinary amount of traffic,
|
|
especially for simple-seeming things such as creating new windows. As
|
|
anyone who has tried to use X over a dial-in modem at 28.8 or even
|
|
higher can attest, creating new X windows can involve an excruciating
|
|
wait.
|
|
<P>LBX is fundamentally a compression and caching scheme designed to
|
|
minimize the amount of X traffic generated between two systems.
