VNC

VNC is a remote display system, which allows the user to access the desktop of a remote machine with a VNC-Client. The user can work with this machine, as if it it sitting in front of it. For this to work on the remote machine a VNC-server is running, which communicates with the client using the RFB Protocol.
The RFB Protocol is a simple protocol. The server sends the framebuffer content to the client, the client informs the server about events (mouse, keyboard) and progress (inform server when ready to receive next update).
