[THIN] Re: what goes down an ICA pipe??

VNC sends bitmaps down and it's vastly slower than ICA. I'm sure ICA must
send GDI commands, some of which will naturally be bitmaps.

Thanks Neil,

I was wondering how smart ICA is, i.e. I guess it isn't simply sending bit
changes, but instead using some kind of x'like instruction set to at least
provide pattern repeating/windowing functions?

Cheers, Brian

Your synopsis is about on the money.

ICA sends partial and full screen updates, X sends instructions (as a
very rough and ready comparison).
