A small howto on Multicast in NZ. (At APE at least at the moment).
So, just how "dead" _is_ the mbone, anyway? How does NZ's multicast (in)capabilies compare with other developed nations (including the likes of South Korea and Vietnam) And while on the topic of global virtual networks, I take it the 6bone is still alive and kicking?
If you have any additions/notes/things to add/remove please let me know.
You might like to throw in the link to the "IPv6 Multicast Best Current Practice" draft RFC (June 2003 - December 2003) http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mboned-ipv4-mcast-bcp-01.txt This document doesn't mention anything about PIM-2 though, just PIM Sparse Mode, MSDP, and MBGP. It also doesn't mention anything about address allocation (MALLOC) It also mentions nothing about accounting and billing methodologies, nor DNS issues (if any). BTW. I looked up about Project PROBE the other day, and some information from the Ministry of Education wrt ICT. I found no mention whatsoever about multicast (and they were talking about video conferencing a lot). Mind you, there was no technical information I could find about PROBE, except to find that Halfmoon Bay in Stewart Island can get Jetstream now. -- Cameron Kerr cameron.kerr(a)paradise.net.nz : http://nzgeeks.org/cameron/ Empowered by Perl!
