Mbone is multicast using DVMRP. Sorry Torsten, you are incorrect. The term "MBone" refers to the entire multicast-routed subset of the global Internet. At first, however, prior to the introduction of native multicast routing on some links, this consisted solely of DVMRP tunnels - hence the confusion. (To your credit, you're not the first person to have been confused by this. For this reason, I've recently been using the term "Multicast Internet" instead.) >Ask people who do deploy multicast in the internet. I have, and do - on an ongoing basis (e.g., in the IETF's MBONED ("MBone Deployment") Working Group, which I participate in). Please review the Internet Drafts and RFCs that have been issued by the IETF MBONED Working Group. And please stop spreading misinformation about "the MBone being obsolete". (If the MBone were "obsolete", then there wouldn't be an ongoing "MBone Deployment" Working Group, would there :-) Ross.
