Re: IETF meeting audio/video multicast

[Stephen Casner <[e-mail]>]

Erik,

I would be happy to honor your request if we can, but there are a
few complications:

- In July, Japan was on for a short time, but their 64K ISDN link was
  really overloaded, and I think someone there may have taken some
  flak for allowing the audio traffic on the link.  You'd have to
  figure out what the path is, and verify that it would work.  This is
  probably the first question to answer.  I don't know of any sites in
  Japan currently on the MBONE.

- Your room assignment would have to be changed in order to be
  where the equipment can go.  The most likely swap would be with BGP
  to get into Columbia-C.  Ask Megan.

- Figure the time difference to Japan and see if the participants
  there are willing (might be OK for your second session).
