All things related to multicast

[Frank Fulchiero <>]

Alan, Thanks for the consolation.
I must say I will have my tail between my legs when I go home  
today...and then take two aspirins.

Just a dumb question, not that I plan on touching miniSAPserver for a  
while again, but when you remove "ip sap listen" from a router, does  
that mean that the clients will not see SAPs?

And if they can be so disruptive to create, what is their future?

They may be obsolete but they are sure handy for clients 'channel- 
surfing' with VLC, and there does not appear to be anything else on  
the horizon, though I did see a reference to SDP Next Generation  
(SDPng) somewhere.

Humbly,
