- At one time class D IP address (224.0.0.0 thru 255.255.255.254) were
- reserved for simul-cast and of course 255.255.255.255 for broadcast.
-
- I have a few questions reguarding TCP simul- and broadcasts, if
- someone could please enlighten us:
-
- 1. What do the latest standards demand from an implementor in this
- regard.
-
- 2. What happens to TCP's reliable delivery feature, specially
- in case of broadcast ? Does it drop down to the level of UDP ?
-
- 3. What are the vendors providing and supporting in the market place.
-
- I think I saw an article saying that some one has used TCP simulcast
- for video teleconferencing (over ISDN perhaps) but I am not sure.
