How does it distinguish between servers and mobile devices? Doesn't it need to

[LSGL-LLW]

Your README MD doesn't seem to mention how to deploy servers and mobile devices. Is there something I haven't noticed or doesn't need such a deployment?

When network interrupt occurs, ORBBuf aims to choose the best images in the buffer of the client. Therefore, ORBBuf is deployed on mobile devices only, and there is not any change on the servers.

Just follow the README.md, after run build.sh, ORBBuf is already deployed. To be brief, build.sh compiles all components and copies them to appropriate locations (by default). Of course, you can change it based on your environment of mobile devices.

ORBBuf provides some new API, so you need to modify your application which publishes the sensor images to the server. /test_pub shows an example.

BTW, our newer work, AFR (https://github.com/Jrdevil-Wang/AFR), is a much light-weight and general-purpose buffering algorithm. And we consider AFR is much easier to deploy because no API changes are needed. Welcome to try and comment.
