Re: [VirtualGL-Users] VirtualGL - reduce bandwidth with compression

[Marco M. <mar...@gm...>]

Hi Nathan, thank you for your answer.
I read the code of the plugin (a good way to fun in the sunday....)....
some consideration and few questions here:

- in server/testplugin.cpp there are 2 functions, RRTransSendFrame and
RRTransGetFrame. These 2 functions should be the important part of the
transport plugin because they are called respectively from the server and
the client, right?
- In RRTransSendFrame i have "vglconn->sendFrame". But vglconn is the
"handle" and hence is the VGLTrans() (in the case of testplugin.cpp, so i
think the important part of the sendFrame resides in the VGLTrans class.
But the VGLTrans class calls _VGLTrans_spoilfct method and it seems that
lock and the unlock the thread using the method signalComplete. What
happens here? I don't understand the signalComplete method. Can you help me
please?

Thanks,
MM
