     4'''VirtualGL''' is an open source package which gives any Unix or Linux remote display software the ability to run OpenGL applications with full 3D hardware acceleration. The OpenGL commands and 3D data are instead redirected to a 3D graphics accelerator on the application server, and only the rendered 3D images are sent to the client machine.

    6 === !Advantages/Disadvantages of the VGL Transport
     6VirtualGL has two built-in “image transports” which can be used to send rendered 3D images to the client machine.
     7The '''VGL Transport''' is most often used whenever the 2D X server (the X server used to draw the application’s GUI and transmit keyboard and mouse events back to the application server) is located across the network from the application server, for instance if the 2D X server is running on the user’s desktop machine.
