All things related to multicast

[Bill Owens <>]

FYI, a beacon success: I was working on the local multicast problem 
last night from home, and on a whim I downloaded the beacon code to 
my MacOS X machine here at the office and it fired right up. The 
beacon list shows it (cookiemonster.nysernet.org) as the only MacOS 
machine amidst the Linux, Sun and Win2k boxes, so perhaps this is the 
first time anybody's tried it.

MacOS X actually makes a pretty decent multicast A/V client, though 
it would be nicer if I could get a native (rather than X windows) 
MPEG-2 viewer that was multicast capable. . .

Bill.
