nx-libs (nxagent, nxproxy)

NXv3 is a software suite which implements very efficient compression of the X11 protocol. This increases performance when using X applications over a network, especially a slow one.

NXv3 Agent

nxagent is an agent providing NX transport of X sessions. The application is based on the well known Xnest "nested" server. nxagent, like Xnest, is an X server for its own clients, and at the same time, an X client for a system's local X server.

The main scope of nxagent is to eliminate X round-trips or transform them into asynchronous replies. nxagent works together with nxproxy. nxproxy itself does not make any effort to minimize round-trips by itself, this is demanded of nxagent.

Being an X server, nxagent is able to resolve all the property/atoms related requests locally, ensuring that the most common source of round-trips are nearly reduced to zero.

NXv3 Proxy

nxproxy provides NXv3 support for X11 connections with or without an NXv3 agent on the server side. You can either connect two NXv3 proxy instances with each other (one in -S and one in -C mode), or you can connect NXv3 proxy (-S mode) with an instance of NXv3 agent.
