All things related to multicast

["William F. Maton" <>]

Greetings,

        I remember there was a topic at some point on the use of certain
multicast addresses by certain vendors for their respective applications
without any real thought to consulting anyone first.

        Well, I started getting annoyed at my little Compaq for taking so
long to compile ... some stuff.  Anyways, I went in seek, locate and
exterminate mode at lo-and-behold, I found an annoying little icon on my
Windows XP box calling itself Altiris.  (Beats me.)

        It seems that the Altiris client has been programmed by default
(but can be changed) to use a multicast address, 225.1.2.3.  Is this one a
candidate for MSDP filtering?
