Speaking of gigabit, and the idea of supporting distributed OpenGL, I just noticed some recent work from the Stanford "Mural" people, which describes a new OpenGL stream protocol, called WireGL. It's intended to be a portable and scalable replacement for GLX, with a view to cluster rendering. So, that might be interesting to look at, given that they've already done all the hard work... http://graphics.stanford.edu/software/wiregl/research.html
