All things related to multicast

["Zenon Mousmoulas" <>]

Actually, if you look at the diagram, the caption above the little box in 
"LAST MILE #1" reads "AMT ENABLED ROUTER" and its' uplink is also marked with 
"AMT TUNNEL". This is how I reached the conclusion that the CPE (rather than 
the "customer computer") runs the AMT gateway in the depicted topology, and 
also why I reused the specific wording in that diagram. Other than that, I 
think the difference between the AMT gateway and relay is clear.

Apologies for any confusion this may have caused.

  The AMT-enabled router in the diagram is on the network that doesn't have 
multicast enabled on the last mile (to the customer computer).  So AMT on the 
customer computer talks to an AMT relay (which in the diagram is the router 
providing the AMT relay function) and the router talks native multicast to 
the world.
