[AG-USERS] Amado / Searching for MIT node operator

[gonzalam at fiu.edu]

Josh Stillerman good afternoon.

this is Amado Gonzalez from the Engineering Center at Florida 
International University,
and the MSIHPC Consortium.

The reason I was trying to locate a Node operator on your side is because 
on 
Wednesday June 2, 2004 at 7:00 pm

the MIT Enterprise Forum will be having a presentation with Bob Metcalfe 
'68, father of the Ethernet, founder of 3 Com,
and various others. This program is targeting Entreprenuers.

Yet they are stating they can only do a 320 by 240 webstream :( or 
satellite feed.
I was hoping that they would consider doing this over the AG as it allows 
for more robust participation and collaboration during sessions.

I was able to communicate with 

Greg Wymer
Project Coordinator
MIT Enterprise Forum, Inc.

on your side , yet he was unaware of the AG, he had stated his tech person 
was out.
It would be nice if they allowed the session to take place over the AG.

Maybe you can get in contact with Greg Wymer and explain to him a little 
bit of what your doing.

Thank you for your help Josh, Have a wonderful weekend.

Kind regards, Amado Gonzalez

Amado -
  My name is Josh Stillerman.  We have several AG capable systems at the 
MIT-PSFC.  We do not have a room set up for AG, and we do not have an AG 
node operator.  These are people's desktop machines.  In addition the 
multicast nature of the AG traffic does really really terrible things to 
our network in all but the smallest of meetings.  We have discussed 
with Argonne implementation of a local bridge, so the traffic on our lan 
would be unicast, but no progress on this has been made.  At this time 
we can only participate in meetings with a small number of streams, and 
we don't have a space for a large (more than one or two person) 
audience.  If you want to speak with one to two people over AG here at 
MIT for a short meeting, we may be able to accommodate you.

Sorry,

-- josh
