<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hello all,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">while trying to resolve some troubles
in our internal subnet configuration, I was wondering how *exactly* the
VenueServer assigns/manages addresses for the venues. What I know, from
official documentation and from Thomas D. Uram messages inside this m/list,
is that the management of the IP for the venues can be either static or
dynamic, meaning that I can assign a fixed IP to each venue (one for video,
one for audio, and it will have always the same) or let the venueserver
assign the IPs inside a variable range, giving them to audio/video of a
venue when the first user asks to enter it, while releasing them when the
last person into the venue leaves it.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">What I'm not able to understand is:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1) is the IP assigned to audio/video
for each room a *real* IP (a multicast IP publicly visible over the internet
i mean) or is there some kind of alias/routing sistem underlying somewhere?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2) In the first case, how can the venue
server understand a particular IP is "free" or "used"
by someone else (i.e. another venueserver or another service)?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">3) In the second case, how is the routing
done? How can the venueserver address the two applications Vic and Rat
(with some kind of DNS i guess) to the right IP?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">4) Again in the second case, how can
the VenueServer assign/manage addresses in ranges like 224.xxx.xxx.xxx
when the allowed IPs inside a LAN are restricted to a range that goes from
192.168.2.10 to 192.168.2.150? </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm not sure if I could explain clearly
what I'm looking for, but this matter, as far as now, is very critical
to me, I'm ready to give any further clarification and open to every suggestion
and information.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanx as always,</font>
