4 Encoding on the X Byte Stream

In the remote rendering case, the overhead associated with interpreting the GLX extension requests must be minimized. For this reason, all commands have been broken up into two categories: OpenGL and GLX commands that are each implemented as a single X extension request and OpenGL rendering requests that are batched within a GLXRender request.

• 4.1 Requests that hold a single extension request
• 4.2 Request that holds multiple OpenGL commands
• 4.3 Wire representations and byte swapping
• 4.4 Sequentiality
