>Despite the increased need for IP multicast, driven by the popularity of
>applications like multimedia events and
>data distribution services, its deployment has not been widespread.
>Surprisingly, the lack of appropriate
>network management tools for IP multicast has proven to be a major barrier
>for its deployment. While a few
>diagnotic tools do exist today, these usually require expert knowledge and
>understanding of multicast
>protocols.Unlike unicast, where domain knowledge and management experience
>is considerable, in the
>multicast domain few people have the requisite multicast knowledge. This is
>especially true in the NOCs
>(Network Operations Center), where multicast management experience is
>practically non-existent
>
>This talk will describe the results of research at HP Laboratories into the
>management needs of multicast
>network operators. It will describe a prototype multicast network
>management system we've built that is aimed
>at network operators and discuss how it can be used to manage multicast
>networks. This prototype is currently
>used at HP and other sites to manage the multicast networks and some of our
>preliminary experiences with the
>prototype will be discussed.

>The seminar is broadcast live on the Internet Mbone and as a Real Networks
>G2 broadcast.

>You'll see a link to cs298-5/real networks/live programs.
>
>You can also directly put in this url into the Real Player:

>To tune into the Internet MBone broadcast, look for the announcement in
>your MBone session directory program ('sdr').  If you are not receiving the
>announcement you may be able to receive the session by manually configuring
