If you're a member of the UO faculty or staff, or a UO student with a networked
Windows PC, you know that broadcast-quality IP multicast video via IP/TV is
available on your desktop. But if you're trying to help a non-UO colleague check
for multicast connectivity, Multicast Technologies has the answer.
By listening for traffic from the NLANR Multicast Beacon project, the Multicast
Tester can determine whether or not a site has IP multicast connectivity.
To use the tester, go to http://www.multicasttech.com/mt/
and follow the instructions. The site also provides information on how to incorporate
this tool into your website.
For more information about IP/TV at the UO, see http://cc.uoregon.edu/iptv/
