ports mbone/udpcast (PR# 114061) outdated
I noticed not too long ago that mbone/udpcast was outdated (as in more than 3 years old). Not knowing what or how to proceed with such an outdated port, I decided to file a bug report. It seemed the sensible thing to do. As you can see below, Edwin (edwin .at. FreeBSD.org) made the change to close the ticket without much details. > State-Changed-From-To: open->closed > State-Changed-By: edwin > State-Changed-When: Wed Jun 27 07:20:48 UTC 2007 > State-Changed-Why: > Please submit patches Well, I know what patches are, but I don't think patches themselves are able to fix the outdated port.. so I'm lost. What do I do? I thought since the port was extremely outdated, that someone with a commit bit would have to setup the updated port in the CVS tree, I can't commit them myself. I don't even know exactly what patches are needed or where to submit them. So, how do I proceed? I need some tips and a hand-in-hand tutorial on what to update and where to send the update.

MBONE Tunnel
I've recently become intrested in connecting to MBONE. I already have all the various video conferencing tools setup including mrouted on my router. I was able to do a local LAN conference, but now I'd like to try and connect to the real network. It appears that neither ISP that I use has MBONE available and I'll need to find a network to create a tunnel with. Where could I find a list of sites that I could connect to? Also, what exactly do I need to have open on my firewall for MBONE? A side question is how does a firewall affect sniffing programs like tcpdump? I've spent some time searching for information on mbone tunnels and schedule information and it looks like most pages aren't updated any newer than 1999, is mbone already dead? -- I sense much NT in you.

MBone
I'm curious if there is anyone here who know anything about mbone. I've recently become intrested in it, and I've downloaded and setup all the software for it which I used to do some video conferencing on my LAN. I've been looking for a way to join the main mbone network but there seems to be little information on it, or the info there is is dated before 2000. Am I just too late and mbone already died off? -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside.

I read that I could use mrouted to geta direct connect to the Mbone, but what ip address do I connect to? or should I try the 6bone instead? My friends and I want to have videoconferences and use streaming media via Helix. Any help is appreciated.

questions on mbone and FreeBSD
Hi, I have some questions about mbone on FreeBSD My Configuration 1. A Dell Optiplex GX150 with FreeBSD 4.8 running on it 2. Configured the kernel to do multicast routing. Also created a /etc/mrouted.conf file with tunnels setup to our other offices on the west coast 3. I have mrouted_enable = "YES" in my /etc/rc.conf file 4. I have pre-compiled binaries of SDR v3.0 and VIC v2.8ucl-1.1.5 in /home/mbone/sdr and /home/mbone/vic respectively where mbone is an user that I created in the wheel group and I want to use this user to run mbone everytime. My Problem 1. When I start up my FreeBSD box, I see that mrouted is running 2. I then try to create a meeting advertisement through SDR and for some reason it doesn't get announced to the other sites that I have created tunnels to route multicast traffic 3. I tried all 3 different TTLs (local (15), region (63) and world (127)) to scope my announcement but with no success. 4. I am able to see and join meetings that are announced by the other sites..but just the meetings that are announced by me are not being seen by any other sites. In addition, they also disappear from my SDR list after about 30-40 mins Any help would be greatly appreciated.
