I'd have expected someone to have QoS mentioned already, mainly to put FTP and P2P traffic on the least important queues and don't hog up the net.
As long as there is no multicast entering the wlan this is best solved by getting more bandwidth.
Well, we'll be on the *sending* end of the Hugo's, but... ;-)
It would still be nice to multicast them inside our network (and out to whomever wants to watch), but what the heck's the consumer-level client side of multicast video streaming look like these days?
IIRC a number of IETF meetings were badly maimed in the wireless side until people remembered that the WLAN was no place for multicast video. VLC does mcast really nice. We're testing it for replacing antenna distribution systems and DVB-T receivers at work. -- Måns Nilsson primary/secondary/besserwisser/machina MN-1334-RIPE +46 705 989668 Mr and Mrs PED, can I borrow 26.7% of the RAYON TEXTILE production of the INDONESIAN archipelago?
