[AG-TECH] RESULTS of survey on using multicast for the Access Grid are NOW AVAILABLE

[Andrew Patrick]

I was curious to know how many people are able to use multicast for 
joining Access Grid sessions. So I created a simple 1-question survey 
that asked how often you are able to connect to AG sessions using 
multicast.

The main finding is that 75% of the responders (91 AG users) reported 
that they are able to use multicasting for their sessions all or most of 
the time. Only 20% of the participants report never or usually not being 
able to use multicasting. There were problems reported with 
multicasting, however, and differing attitudes towards the use of 
unicast bridges.

I have prepared a web page describing all the results:

Please have a look and discuss if you wish.
