Christopher,

1) Are your end users using TV's or PC's to view the streams ?
2) When you refer to "WAN" is the entire IP network under your
control ?
3) Are there any restrictions on conditional access or bandwidth
placed upon the implementation by the content owner ?

Cheers,
Ben.

Christopher> Hello,

Christopher> I have a "state of the state" sort of

Christopher> Unicast or Multicast.  Unicast isn't

Christopher> Now since it's been years since I've

Christopher> network?  Thank you very much for your time.
