3852.0. "DECUS on the MBone" by GOLLY::HART () Thu May 04 1995 15:26

    I note with some pleasure that some DECUS talks will be broadcast
    over the MBone this spring. I'd like to tune in and I wonder who
    else is planning to do the same.
    
    Also, I have been trying to reach the ftp site (chocolate.pa.dec.com)
    where I am suppose to be able to find MBone software and information
    for digital UNIX users. However, that machine does not seem to be
    reachable now. Is this a temporary problem, or do I need to look
    elsewhere now?

    I am also interested in finding out about viewing DECUS.  I am curious
    if anyone will be setting this up.

What's MBone?  Is it M-Bone or MB-one?

3852.5virtual internet backbone for multicast IPGOLLY::HARTFri May 05 1995 17:2015
    MBONE means virtual internet backbone for multicast IP. It was
    developed 2 or 3 years ago (1992?), by Steve Deering at Xerox PARC,
    with help from others. The IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)
    adopted MBONE as the basis for wide area time critical real time
    communications, such as video conferencing. It has been used for the
    past few years to broadcast technical conferences, and other things,
    worldwide. Communications are 2 way, so I at my workstation in my office
    I could watch a presentation at a remote conference, and ask the speaker
    questions, either vocally, or using other conferencing mechanisms that
    are available.
    
    Also, I have solved the problem with access to chocolate.pa.dec.com: I
    needed to get through a firewall..
