All things related to multicast

[Marshall Eubanks <>]

Dear Zhu;

   We have continual broadcasting of audio and video multicasts on the
Internet. Is that what you mean by
periodic ? Or do you mean a cyclic multicast of a loop to emulate video
on demand ? Digital Fountain has such a product, and Greg Shepard was
running a test of it from Oregon. I am not sure if it is up, but I am
sure he can tell you about it.

Test your network for multicast :

Our streams :
Audio - On-the-I.com
MPEG-4 video  - www.multicasttech.com/otv

Digital Fountain :

Greg is cc'ed above.
