[K12OSN] Application Server Question

[Jim Hays]

I may be wrong (it certainly wouldn't be the first time, not even the first time
today----), but I don't think this is a problem.  I don't think that the
additional apps would cause extra bandwidth. 



Quoting Shawn Powers <spowers at inlandlakes.org>:

> If I am correct, if I use ssh or rsh to launch a remote app from a remote
> application server, the network traffic still pipes through the LTSP
> server.  Is this correct?  This effectively takes the CPU and RAM load off
> the LTSP server, but still degrades it's network performance, right?
> 
> That said, is there a way to get the local thin client to directly call an
> application via ssh or rsh so that all the traffic doesn't funnel through
> the LTSP server?  I don't want "local apps" -- I want to call apps from a
> second "Application Server" directly to the thin client without passing
> all the traffic through the LTSP server.
> 
> Or is the traffic no more than the remote X session itself?  ie, once I
> have a session from the LTSP server on my thin client, do additional
> applications add more bandwidth?  I assumed they did, but perhaps I'm
> wrong.
