[AG-TECH] Sharing Virtual Venues internationally

[Michael Miller]

Ben,

NCSA uses both static and dynamically allocated multicast addresses.  When you enter the NCSA Lobby(dynamic) you will see a listing of venues:
Axon 
Cactus 
Cosmic Voyage 
Exemplar 
Helium 
Hydrogen 
Landspout 
LEAD 
Mesher 
Monte Carlo 
Mosaic 
NCASSR
Optiverse 
Platinum 
Renaissance 
Schoolhouse 
The World
Titan 
Verlet 
Walkabout 

LEAD, NCASSR and Schoolhouse are for specific projects at NCSA.  AGSchedule only allows use of these venues by those involved with the project.  The others are all static except for "The World" which is a dynamically allocated lobby which contains venues we are hosting for other sites.  The venues out in "The World" are dynamically allocated as well.

You can get information about NCSA and other venues here:
https://agschedule.ncsa.uiuc.edu/venues.asp

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Michael

I'm interested in providing navigation to the NCSA Virtual Venues from our UK based Toolkit server, in an attempt to simplify international AG meetings.

Please can someone confirm whether the NCSA Virtual Venues are based on 'static addresses' ? I heard a 'rumour' that some of the Virtual Venues served up on US servers are assigned their M/C addresses dynamically.

Regards, Ben.
