Hi Chen, To diagnose the RAT crashes it would be useful to know which OS you're running and what you think might be causing the crash - does it happen after the same amount of time, or is it related to certain other remote nodes joining?
If you run the UCL version and run debugview - which captures the debug messages (send us the log from debugview) - see: https://mediatools.cs.ucl.ac.uk/mbone/mmedia/wiki/SvnDev Thanks, piers.
