Hi all you happy Casper people,
One week ago we did a network streaming test in the seventh eVLBI workshop
in Shanghai, used an iBob to send udp/ip packets from Finland to Sweden,
udp/ip packetizer was written by Jan Wagner and worked flawlessly.
This was an ad-hoc experiment, got idea for it late in the previous
Thursday, got permission a day later and the demonstration was on Tuesday.
It was a great success, got big applaud and achieved eight times the speed
that other groups have tried to do.
Please see

for the traffic statistics, everything was very clean and easy.
Have given the usual apologies to the networking people, unfortunately in
the form of "I was writing networking software when most of you were
wearing diapers, I don't crash Internet accidentally, no need to
worry". People sometimes remark that I lack diplomatic skills, I wonder
why. :-)
Anyway, now everybody is happy, we all get very good publicity because we
used the Internet about one thousand or ten thousand times more
effectively than is normally possible.
Otherwise the meeting was very good, there were about twentyfive or thirty
courses in the conference dinner, all of them very slippery and full of
small bones, almost impossible for western people to eat with chopsticks.
:-)
Cheers,
Jouko
