What kind of router would you like?
3600 with plenty of memory and several interfaces?
Sounds good to me. As far as I am aware of the architecture at APE all we need is a 100Mb/s Ethernet interface, or maybe two for fast etherchannel if anyone donates the bandwidth for a full mbone feed. Who do we contact about installing new equipment at APE?
Richard Naylor can presumably provide access to the cabinet, if you need that - 04 9170200.
Nominations for a non-discriminating person to run the reflector. Suggestions people?
I (we've :-) got a K6 400 linux box directly attached to APE that isn't doing a heck of a lot at the moment. If that'll do it, I'm happy to config it up. Likewise down here in Wellington, we've got boxes directly attached to WIX that could act as mbone reflectors. WRT the comment last week about modern switches handling multicast, I can report that an impromptu "test" performed yesterday morning involved a customer multicasting a full 100Mb stream straight onto Citylink. Our switches were perfectly happy about it, unfortunately, the majority of customers on 10Mb discovered that things were not as functional as normal. Citylink installing an airgap for the customer fixed the problem. Clients. Who needs them. Yeesh.
