[re-combining threads] Ahh yes, the disappointment of having IETF go backwards on this technology occurred so long ago that I missed the irony... Indeed, would be nice to go back to the future when IETF meetings used the MBONE. In fact, you may recall we approached the IETF network and Meetecho teams last year about this. The network support is there on the Internet today- we have several public AMT relays deployed to deliver multicast streams from the MBONE to Internet users on unicast-only networks. VLC now has AMT GW support. Multicast capabilities in other apps doesn't appear to be available, and support/encouragement from the IETF (as it has for v6 over the years) would certainly help. Any suggestions for how to accomplish that would be welcome, as last year's attempt didn't get very far. The current global situation is pushing the need for solutions that enable people to gather virtually (distance learning, worship services, movie watch parties, drinks with friends, WG meetings, etc), which illustrates the value and role to play for multicast. In MBONED, we've adopted work to bring multicast to the browser, which will help with app layer support. We have deprecated the use of interdomain ASM to mandate SSM and eliminate most of the complexity of deploying multicast. We'd love more folks to deploy AMT relays. We welcome others to join us and share ideas they have to help the effort.
