A South Korean company has developed an app that sets up multicast on a network automatically. No router config required. It does it with a
small
active-x that installs on a user's machine and gives a server on the ntwk all the info it needs to route the multicast stream. Pretty cool stuff. I'd call it a killer-ap for multicasting.
It sounds as if I'd probably call it "unicast". ---Rob No, it's multicasting. The active-x interacts with the server to determine which clients are viable for grouping into a virtual multicasting ntwk (independently of routers). These little active-x's interact with the server to register themselves in a multicast group, and they can repeat the signal for others in their group or even to other groups. It's P2P and IP Multicasting put together. Tom
