Rare project developers

[Frédéric LOUI <>]

Hi !

It is with excitement that I’m announcing the availability of an AMT relay on 
the GEANT P4 LAB.

I hope this will pave the way to further development and progress. (Obviously 
the result still present some rooms for improvement)

How to use it ?

If you are on MAC for example:

grab latest nightly/dev VLC 4.0  for MAC.

Then put on your ~/.bashrc
alias vlc='/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC’
source ~/.bashrc

Then launch on your favourite terminal.
vlc amt://:1234/ --amt-relay 62.40.109.31

Enjoy Hungarian Hard Rock/Metal « sound » :)

The particularity is that this multicast source is provided by a BIER enable 
backbone running on P4 switch powered by RARE/freertr.

And all if this is an overlay on top of GÉANT MPLS CORE.

The AMT relay a RARE/freeRtr router in Paris. The source is in Budapest.

Of course audio sound is not perfect but I’m pretty sure further AMT client 
will progress.

Also the stream is available in IPv6. Anyone up to implement a IPv6 AMT 
client ?

Special thanks to Akil and GÉANT ops team for his reactive answer without 
whom we could not have this AMT relay in place today.

And also kudos to mc36 for the AMT relay code.

Let’s now observe how it compare with Juniper AMT relay :)

So please stay tuned  and take care !

All the best,
Frederic
