Emphasis on "good network equipment";) Yes, stuff that a) even supports IP Multicast and b) as very low loss rate .. If possible, I'd like to avoid IP Multicast .. just a gut feeling (have no experience with that in practice) .. and apart from that, we currently just don't have IP Multicast aware switches deployed ;( _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
