Description: Low Bandwidth X (LBX) proxy server
Applications that would like to take advantage of the Low Bandwidth
extension
to X (LBX) must make their connections to an lbxproxy. These
applications
need know nothing about LBX, they simply connect to the lbxproxy as if
were a
regular X server. The lbxproxy accepts client connections, multiplexes
them
over a single connection to the X server, and performs various
optimizations
on the X protocol to make it faster over low bandwidth and/or high
latency
connections.
