Here are two good resources: http://multicasttech.com/ http://multicast.internet2.edu/
I get asked about security more and more now. People are concerned that their research will be broadcast to anyone with a multicast-enabled network. VIC and RAT do offer encryption keys, and that is an option to enable with AGTk venue servers. Rooms can have access based on your globus certificates, too. And AGTK uses SSL for its client/server connections. Would it be feasible to route multicast though a VPN for very secure meetings? Say, run a VPN server on the same machine that the venue server is on, have clients connect their VPN client to it, and then fire up AG over the encrypted tunnel?
