Thanks to Tom Uram, I recently learned about a tool that has revolutionized our AG setup, as we can't do multicast and have strict policies regarding holes in the firewall.
http://ace.netmedia.gist.ac.kr/AG_Connector The AG Connector is installed as a Shared Application. You simply go the venue you wish to enter, choose AG Connector from the list of Shared Applications, then right click it and choose Open. It then sends all the data to and from that room over a single port via a single host!!! I can now go to any Argonne venue and any NCSA venue with only one port open in my firewall (compared to over 10,000). Can't talk now: have to finish my security plan so we can get this port opened permanently. Thank you Tom and Namgon! Long live AG Connector! (Can you tell I'm excited about this? :) ~ian -- Ian Roberts <Interaction Designer> Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, WA > From: Linda Winkler <wink...@mcs.anl.gov> > Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2005 18:43:44 -0500 > To: <ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov> > Cc: corey HALL <ch...@anl.gov> > Subject: [AG-TECH] unicast bridge > > Is there a generally available unicast bridge that sites > may switch to when experiencing multicast difficulties? > lw >
