I did not find any digest documentation dealing with : "Multicasting with VNC for dummies".
I think you overlooked it... its empty...
vnc does no multicast (in the tcp/ip way)
I would like to use VNC only for that purpose in a classroom.
For that purpose, you can connect more than one viewer to the same server, that will suit a need.
On top of that, to restrict/spread the bandwidth of the server machines, there is such a thing as a vnc-proxy or such but I don't have any experiece with that.
What are the different steps for testing this functionality ?
To limit the bandwidth, best to limit the screen resoultion to 800x600 and use 8 bit colors (256 colors).
Then point more viewers to the same server.
If there is some performance drop, try to find the bottleneck. If that is in the network, use a higher compression. If the cpu is the load, drop compression and use raw network trafic.
If the vncserver is M$Windows based, twiggle with the polling settings.
