A map of the mbone is available from http://www.nlanr.net/Viz/Mbone/. The IETF MBONED group is working on deploying multicast technologies for the Internet at large (http://network-services.uoregon.edu/~meyer/MBONED/). A web site with genreal Mbone information is http://www.mbone.com. Hope this helps, -Jim
