Anyone, I am not very familiar with Multicasting technologies, but how can I get access to the Mbone? My DSL provider does not allow Mbone access. Is there anyway I can get a DVMRP tunnel to my Cisco 2611 router at home from someone? I have a static IP. Please let me know! Thanks!
Nobody should be giving out new dvmrp tunnels these days to any sort of peers. It would be nice if people were unable to configure dvmrp anymore.. but that's another topic. What you want is a pim sparse-mode tunnel from someone, or your DSL provider to support multicast. There needs to be some education out there that multicast is not bandwidth consuming. People have this idea in their head from the "dvmrp" days that having multicast will use 10M+ of bandwidth to have multicast. This is just *not the case*. - Jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared () puck nether net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
