That's great news!
experience suggests that there is unlikely to be a monstrous volume of data flowing down over this tunnel at least in the short-to-medium term.
Well, TBH, my limited experience has been the opposite. However, I do use multicast apps from Internet2-fed UC Berkeley. :-)
A tunnel's a tunnel, surely. The customer base of the endpoint maintainer is interesting and impressive and everything, though :)
That wasn't my point; if you're going to connect to the MBONE, why not connect right off a major provider with some grunt rather than a dogleg off some out of the way twig-connected SGI under someone's desk. ;)
The key to organising this kind of thing is to have everything installed and ready to go before we start calling in favours from people to set up tunnels.
I would agree that's part of it. However, I did have limited time to get an unusually good seriously-engineered connection. That opportunity is gone, however. I could also request a feed from UC Berkeley or LBL. Both are literally less than 10 minutes walk away, and I have contacts there as well; though it sounds you might already have access to a connection - in which case, I'd be ringing Roger to ask him when he can bring the router around. :) I'm really glad to see you take this up. I was really dispairing of anything happening. -- Josh Bailey (joshbailey(a)lucent.com) --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
