Torsten's use of the term "MBone" is obsolete :-) While it's true that *the DVMRP tunneled infrastructure* (the original "MBone" implementation) is obsolete, the term "MBone" refers to the *entire* multicast-routed subset of the global Internet. This, of course, is alive and well (now primarily using PIM-SM). Ross. ps. One of the nice features of DVMRP is that it allowed someone with a uncooperative (or clueless) ISP to join the MBone - by tunneling over the uncooperative ISP. It's a pity that, with the demise of DVMRP, this ability has been lost... To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
