Multicast Networking Overview
Mike O'Connor, ESNet
Laurence (Laurie) Kirchmeier, Internet2

Mike and Laurie will give an overview of multicast networking, in 
general and in the context of ESnet and Internet2.  The presentation 
session will cover the basics of multicast networking, router 
configuration, and debugging.

This presentation is a great opportunity for network administrators to 
learn more about multicast and to have their questions answered by 
seasoned experts.  Some knowledge of networking will be assumed, but not 
much more than the typical Access Grid community member has attained.

This meeting is open to anyone who wishes to attend:  all experience 
levels, U.S. and non-U.S., etc.  Please do plan to attend and encourage 
your network administrators to attend.
