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.
