We are developing a streaming video based application. Can someone tell me whether
(1) Multicasting is necessary for such an application (2) How do we configure multicasting, and multicast (224.x.x.x) to Global IP Conversion, on Cisco Routers. Some useful sites will be handy. (3) What is the function of the MBone network, and whether it is required for such a situation.

Sounds like a one-to-many application. And as such, I would ask who are your anticipated receivers? Secondly, are those receivers currently able to join multicast groups? If your receiver population is not multicast enabled, then writing a multicast application will be in vain unless you address the extension of multicast to edge where your receivers reside. -ron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ron da Silva ron@aol.net Network Architect 703.265.4548 America Online, Inc.
