This is now a job for Wireshark.

I don't have wireshark but I have tried to check traffic with
tcpdump.

Between NetBSD server and Xephyr, when I try to open an xterm,
there is a lot of packets on port x11-1. Now, I check packets
between Xephyr and OpenVMS :

Root hilbert:[~] > tcpdump -p host 192.168.10.107 and ! port 23
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v[v]... for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), snapshot length 262144 bytes
14:29:53.056530 ARP, Request who-has hilbert.systella.fr tell fermat.systella.fr, length 46
14:29:53.056557 ARP, Reply hilbert.systella.fr is-at d4:5d:64:b4:9a:3b (oui Unknown), length 28

Of course, I have tried to run mcr sys$system:decw$clock on VMS's
side. Thus, VMS does't send packet to Xephyr even is display is set:
$ mcr sys$system:decw$clock
X Toolkit Error: Can't Open display
%DWT-F-NOMSG, Message number 03AB8204
$ show display

    Node:      192.168.10.103
    Transport: TCPIP
    Server:    1
    Screen:    0

Best regards,
