==History== RFB was originally developed at [[Olivetti Research Laboratory]] (ORL) as a remote display technology to be used by a simple [[thin client]] with [[Asynchronous Transfer Mode]] connectivity called a Videotile. In order to keep the device as simple as possible, RFB was developed and used in preference to any of the existing remote display technologies. RFB found a second and more enduring use when VNC was developed. VNC was released as [[Open-source software|open source]] software and the RFB specification published on the web. Since then RFB has been a free protocol which anybody can use. When ORL was closed in 2002 some of the key people behind VNC and RFB formed [[RealVNC]], Ltd., in order to continue development of VNC and to maintain the RFB protocol. The current RFB protocol is published on the [https://help.realvnc.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002720337-RFB-protocol-specification RealVNC website].
