Hi, I would be interested in knowing if any performance studies exist that would give me a feel for the load imposed on a network by the transfer of graphics oriented data between an X-client and an X-server when they are on different platforms. We are envisioning a network of diskless SUN workstations or other UNIX workstations connected to a fairly large SUN fileserver. We would essentially be treating the workstations as X-terminals where the the X-server is running at the workstation with the X-clients running on the fileserver. Any information or experiences would be greatly appreciated. -- Mike ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Langager UUCP: uunet!trwacs!langager TRW Systems Division Internet: langager@trwacs.fp.trw.com Fairfax Virginia Voice: +1 703/968-1846 -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Langager UUCP: uunet!trwacs!langager TRW Systems Division Internet: langager@trwacs.fp.trw.com Fairfax Virginia Voice: +1 703/968-1846
