Remote access protocols supported by virtualbox

Hi all,

I know that rdp is supported by virtualbox for accessing guest virtual machines remotely.

But, i want to know whether RFB and SPICE are supported by virtualbox or not?
If yes, how?
If no, why?

i dont want to install VNC server on the guest machine because it is not transparent as guest has to cooperate.
Is there any support by virtualbox itself for rfb and spice??

Please reply...

TIA

RFB is the protocol behind VNC, and a VNC Extension pack providing a VRDE module is available to build within the SVN. The extension is NOT supported by Oracle, as the code was written by the community.

SPICE is not supported.
