Abstract: A system for real time image transmission monitoring for use in a network system connecting a server and a client. The system includes a remote image monitoring system having a VGA signal-gathering module to gather first and second frames from a client, and a VGA signal-gathering module. The VGA signal-gathering module defines each frame into a plurality of sub-frames, and numbers each sub-frame. Then, the contents of the sub-frames with the same number in the first and second frames are compared, and the content of the variation sub-frame in the second frame and its corresponding number are output to the server if the contents are different. The server replaces the content of the sub-frame with the number in the first frame by the received content, and thus forms the second frame to output.

Each optical fiber may include a plurality of optical carriers with each optical carrier operating at a different wavelength. The optical network includes an optical network routing apparatus to receive the multiplexed signals from the optical fiber, to categorize the multiplexed signals as local signals or as non-local signals, to drop the local signals to a local switch, and to transmit the non-local signals to the optical fiber for further routing in the optical network. Advantageously, the transport of multiplexed signals on optical carriers of different wavelengths on a single optical fiber multiples by the number of optical carriers the bandwidth capacity of the optical fiber.
