I wish this was actually true. For quite a while I can only receive locally
generated multicast and Univ of WA generated multicast. Anything on the
"other side" of the Pacific Northwest Gigapop still seems to be a problem
that I'm told they are working on.

I was told not to even ask about IPv6 multicast so I don't know what the
status is.

It used to work so well...
