X3D-Edit includes a recorder for network streaming of behaviors using
the DIS protocol.

	Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) utility panels for packet
	generation as well as  recording and playing back  network traffic,
	built using the Open-DIS software distribution

We've also created a prototype that records position and orientation of
user viewpoint, then outputs PositionInterpolator and OrientationInterpolator
code to replay on demand.  Also available in X3D-Edit as a drag+drop icon
during scene authoring, found under the Savage X3D Examples Archive
palette section.

all the best, Don
