All things related to multicast

Some folks asked for the multicast address for the streams to test outside the browser/plugin environment:

Quicktime:
Audio - 233.15.159.70, 5432
Video - 233.15.159.70, 5434

Windows:
233.15.159.80:25403

Subject: THON 2009 Multicast Test

Good Morning,

Penn State Public Broadcasting each year provides streaming services for  THON. This year we hope to provide additional service in the way of multicast delivery. We have two test streams running at the moment. The first is a 1Mbit Quicktime stream. The second is a 6Mbit Windows Media stream. If you have a multicast enabled network please test the links. Our initial test showed that some multicast locations receive the streams ok, and some do not. Let us know your experience.

These links will be available today until 4PM and tomorrow 8AM - 1:30PM.

Quicktime link - works in any browser and OS with Quicktime.
