Need to Check for Multicast Connectivity? Try 'Multicast Tester'

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/

To see a current schedule of multicast videos, as well as links to more information about multicast applications, go to http://videolab.uoregon.edu/
