Thought I'd share this with you - an Internet2 school is using multicast to stream their Commencement.  They did this last year as an experiment, this year it is on their web page!

could you send me s ahort paragraph about this multicast event?  I'd like to send it out to the multicas working group, the bigvideo working group, ... as an example of an Internet2 school that is taking advantage of advanced network capability.  (I want to make you guys famous!)

Yeah, we aren't sending video now. I think it is working. I got confirmation from others.

can anyone see this?  I'm not in the office today, so if you can see it, please let Theron know!

I'm assuming you can use the VLC client to view this stream.

Mr. Riddle,

Once again, we are multicasting our commencement this Friday.

In the past, you have been able to confirm the feed for me. Everything looks good from here, but I would like to be sure people can see it from the outside.

The destination IP is 233.9.248.1, port 4444. The title is Washington University Commencement.

I am currently feeding our University TV station, they are showing a movie at the present time.

Can you take a look?
