According to Mark Fullmer:
> 
> The UO NetAid multicast sessions were a success at OSU.  We had 318
> IP/TV and 27 MacTV downloads, although it looks like there were
> only 106 IP's that connected to the UO IP/TV Content manager on the 9th,
> it still accounts for 27 buildings which were individual routed networks.
> Most of the receivers were students living in the dorms.
> 
> Considering the concert was on a Saturday when most of the faculty
> and staff were not on campus, there was a home football game, advertising
> was only done the day before, and the event was carried on VH1, the
> number of receivers was reasonably high.
> 
> With a 106 active receivers @ 1.5Mb/s the 1.5Mb/s (or two) multicast
> stream(s) vs. potentially 159Mb/s for replicated unicast made this an event
> that would not have been possible without multicast.
