We have a Performer application running 1280x1024 on an Octane currently at Irix 6.4. The application uses a terrain database with over 10Mb texture. Our customer has asked us to replicate the display at a remote site over a T1 link (1.5Mbps) at a reduced frame rate. They would like 10 fps if possible. I can think of several ways to do this although the T1 link seems to be a severe limit.

1 - Pipe the RGB output from the monitor to the remote site.
2 - Use X/ GLX to do the remote rendering.
3 - Send the application data over the network and run a subset of the application locally.

Any suggestions or pointers are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time
