I have previously discussed the use of the WireShark IP packet sniffer in a Replicated Architecture Application Sharing, now a look at the Centralized Architecture.
There are some complications mentioned in the previous post, but additionally there is the mismatch of network speed. The participating computer may be on LAN with a 100 mbps and the Internet link may only be 1 mbps. In a centralized architecture every packet may need to be copied to the participating computers, so we can see that this would not work.
In the centralized architecture the use of WireShark would not be a problem as long as the screen update is fast enough.
