[Nel] Suggestion for the NeL network library / architecture

Fri, 08 Dec 2000 11:39:18 +0100

Hello !
+Just one question.
+
+>From http://pgm.tibco.com/draft-speakman-pgm-spec-04.txt
+>>> PGM runs over a datagram multicast protocol such as IP multicast [5].
+
+AFAIK, many ISP's ban multicast traffic and many users'll be unable to use
+software based on it.
+Am I wrong or missing something ?
+TIA
