I know bandwidth consumption is required, but my concerns is its very high, around 600Kbs for one client, any other way i can reduce this bandwidth consumption without compression. Any property setting for JVM or ServerSocket, Is there anyway i can reduce the quality of images to 16 bit or 256 bit colors so that images size reduces,

You cannot send data without consuming the bandwidth, can you?

If your only concern is bandwidth usage, you should then compress the data and send it (which the client must decompress to use). But this would come with the added cost of computation to do the compression and decompression.

Of course there are many ways to reduce the quality of images or compress them. Please search this site for articles on image compression and manipulation.

If your images are already compressed, there's little scope for this. If you're sending the same data to multiple clients simultaneously, you might consider multicasting (given the circumstances are suitable for that).
