Description : NX 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.
:
: nxagent is an agent providing NX transport of X sessions. The
: application is based on the well-known Xnest 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.
