This equipment is a per-site cost if the current networking
infrastructure at the site cannot support multicast. It doesn't replace
any of the other equipment.<br>
<br>
With an agreeable network staff who already has the appropriate flavor of
Cisco router, such a tunnel could likely be set up to existing equipment.
However, with such a staff and equipment I suspect that proper multicast
might be doable anyway.<br>
