Gents, Ladies,

I am gathering information about how to resolve the following:

I am having a webcam at home. This webcam can be used by the following
applet to be viewed from the outside world:

<APPLET name="cvcs" CODEBASE="http://172.16.100.200:81/"
CODE="xplug.class" WIDTH=640 HEIGHT=480>
<param name="RemotePort" value=81>
<param name="Timeout" value=5000>
<param name="RotateAngle" value=0>
<param name="PreviewFrameRate" value=20>
<param name="DeviceSerialNo" value="">
<param name="UserName" value="anonymous">
</APPLET>

This works like a charm, but if there are many viewers, the webcam is
brought to it's knees.

Therefor, i would like to build a form of repeater, which is in schema:


webcam < - 1 connection - > java tool on server < -
multiple connections - > clients on the internet

Please see it on 1 line :-)

So, the java tool on the server is making just 1 connection to the
webcam, and clients are getting their images from the java tool on the
server, and therefor not overloading the webcam.

Is there anyone who can give me a hint how to build such a 'proxy',
duplexer, or Relay for this?


Thank you in advance

Jacco

Do you have the source code for xplug? Do you know how to do network
programming in Java?
