Fall 2005 Internet2 Member Meeting
Netcast Information
Internet2 uses our meetings to showcase advanced networking
video streaming technologies. Below are links to generally available
streams, and streams that require high-performance networks. Please
visit the downloads section before the event to test your network's
streaming capabilities.
At the Fall Meeting, Internet2 will deliver two simultaneous live
streams from the meeting.
Note: Multicast works only if your network supports
multicast. For more information about multicast, visit the Internet2
Multicast Working Group.
Multicast detection tools include the Internet2
Detective and the Multicast
Technologies tester.
Experimental:
The primary netcast will also be available via Conference XP
for Windows XP platforms.
Notes:
This service is experimental. ConferenceXP is an initiative
of Microsoft Research. We’re exploring how to make wireless
classrooms, collaboration, and distance learning a compelling,
rich experience by assuming the availability of emerging and
enabling technologies, such as high-bandwidth networks, wireless
devices, Tablet PCs, and the advanced features in Microsoft® Windows® XP.
Any questions may be directed to Bob
Riddle, Internet2 Technologist.
