Xbrowser sends an XDMCP broadcast message to all hosts in your local network and shows the hosts which respond to the message as available sessions. These are dynamic sessions in a sense that Xbrowser creates those sessions automatically and you do not have to create it manually. For more information about Xbrowser sessions, see Xbrowser main window.
