Aloha, I am doing some research into setting up a 24x7 streaming video server that can be accessed by anyone on the Internet. The video stream will be live so it seems like multicast is the best solution. >From my research it seems like unicast streaming would take too much bandwidth and be cost prohibative and since the stream is live a seperate stream to each viewer isn't required. So my question is how would I go about setting up a server to multicast a video stream to anyone on the Internet? I currently have Darwin streaming server set-up and working, so I am more interested in the networking side of things right now. I think I would need the server on the Mbone? How do you go about doing this? Does RoadRunner or other broadband providers pass multicast traffic from mbone to users? If anyone has any knowledge about multicast, mbone, or streaming video that would be very helpful to me.
Mahalo, Dusty
