cl.cam.ac.uk TEST transmissions

For info on TEST Seminar transmissions from cl.cam.ac.uk, see University of Cambridge CL Mbone Seminar Transmissions

There is an initial attempt at a "media on demand" of our test transmissions, based on the perl scripts from Vinay Kumar (vinay@eit.com) after the idea by Anders Klemets (klemets@paul.rutgers.edu)
Local users transmitting a session may care to browse instructions for the use of TP4.


JIPS MBone info

The bits I have collected are a JIPS contacts list, a fancy, inline picture of JIPS in which nodes can be selected just by clicking on them (old WWW clients may have problems) (and a picture of Cambridge), the status of JIPS (or an old cache) [or with all tunnels (cache)], for EU (c), NZ (c), (all) AU (c) (all) and the whole mbone (large!). You can see the routes to the US via EU and SURA (and backup).
ABone members can look at the JIPS ABone page.
See also the official JIPS MBone info.

Mrouted Monitoring: mwatch (the watcher daemon) and related tools

A WWW interface to mwatch (an MBone monitoring server written as part of the MICE project) is available, i.e. mrinfo for individual hosts (or the whole lot! -- this is big), assymetric routes , mcollect to display the TTL to all mrouted's and mr to find a route between two multicast hosts.
There is the beginnings of a README, some almost up to date man pages, V3.6.3 src and binaries for SunOS 4.1.3, SunOS 5.3, ALPHA OSF/1, SNAKE, MIPS Ultrix, Sun3, Bobcats (no multicast).

Contact info and maps

Contact lists are available for EU and NSFnet.
You may care to look athe the MBone diary at uq.oz.au.
I'm building up a set of maps -- please tell me of any others of which you know. As well as the JIPS imagemap, AU now has its own WWW page. There are PS, GIF and small GIF images of the world (small int or ext or large int or ext) EU (nl) (no) (int or ext) and NA (int or ext).

Pointers to other useful info

The MBONE Information Web should be the place to find all things MBONE.
For JIPS sites, Syngen has declared that the official UK JIPS pilot MBONE now resides on nosc.ja.net (including a contents file and the JIPS MBone TG in PS and ASCII), and that the old directory is now junk. For irix 4 systems, see ftp.sgi.com:sgi/ipmcast .
Futher afield, there are the UCL MICE page, ( past MICE seminars), and available MC software at UCL and ed as well as the mbone-faq (and the stanford and EU ones), unige.ch info and taurus.cs.nps.navy.mil/pub/mbmg/mbone as ps, txt and HTML. See the UAkron DECOSF1 (ALPHA) FTP archives. small applet that dumps RTP and RTCP packets. lut.ac.uk has some useful goodies, such as sad which allows you to announce sessions, and mdump which dumps multicast packets. multicast transport protocols.

Bill fenner's sd-launch

To access MBone sessions from WWW without using sd, you need to get a copy of sd-launch, and include in your .mailcap a line such as: "application/x-sd; sd-launch %s" and then you can use the links as seen from cl.cam.ac.uk or nrl.navy.mil coutesy of Bill Fenner .
