      RIPE Meeting Audiocast

RIPE plans to audiocast the plenary sessions of its upcoming meeting
held in Paris, France from September 30th to October 2nd.  Since
bandwidth in this part of the world is quite limited the audiocast will
use LPC4 encoding.  Anyone wishing to ask questions during the question
periods is strongly advised to use LPC4 encoding as the conference site
will not be able to understand you otherwise.  Depending on local
conditions questions over the net may not be available at all.  We will
be using the multicast group used for IETF audiocasts 224.2.0.1
and base port 3456 (vat default). 

IMPORTANT NOTE:

We are looking into using the GSM encodig provided in the latest version
of vat (v1.45beta) because this has far superior sound quality at only a
modest increase in bandwidth.  If you intend to listen to the RIPE
meeting audiocast we recommend you fetch this version just in case.
It is available from the usual places including

	ftp.ee.lbl.gov:vat.tar.Z
	ftp.ripe.net:tools/conf/vat.tar.Z

The meeting schedule is appended below.  Our friends in the US should note
that all times are central European time which at that time will be 
5 hours ahead of EST. 

Enjoy
