14th RIPE Meeting Audiocast

21 Jan 1993

      RIPE Meeting Audiocast

RIPE plans to audiocast the plenary sessions of its upcoming meeting
held in Prague, Czech Republic on Monday-Wednesday of next week, ie. 
January 25th-27th.  Bandwidth to/from Prague is quite limited and no
network level redundancy exists.  We will use GSM encoding in order to
save bandwidth.  Tests done over the last few weeks indicate that this
works with quite good sound quality.  However, last minute problems can
always force us to cancel the audiocast altogether. 

Anyone wishing to ask questions during the question periods is strongly
advised to use GSM encoding as the conference site will not be able to
understand you otherwise.  Depending on network load questions over the
net may not be available at all. 

We will be using the multicast group IETF-1-LOW-AUDIO.MCAST.NET
(224.0.1.10) and base port 4100.  The audiocast will be advertised
conference using the LBL sd (session directory) program.  Only one
channel of audio will be available. 

For general information about the necessary software and the MBONE
multicast backbone fetch the file mbone/faq.txt available from
venera.isi.edu

The meeting schedule is appended below.  All times are central European
time which at that is 6 hours ahead of EST.  We are planning to
audiocast at least the following sessions. 

Monday January 25th	1400 - 1800  	Plenary Session

Tuesday January 26th	0900 - 1030	Routing Working Group

Wednesday January 27th	0900 - 1600  	Plenary Session
					including reports from the working
					groups on Tuesday
