Streaming dead again.

Dying at merit.demarc.cogentco.com with 3561ms figures in traceroute.

How many would pay some $$$ for this to be moved in the future to a premium
service provided by someone like RealMedia. Methinks the merit servers are
getting crushed.

I'd pony up some $$$ to virtually attend it if it were reliable. Seems a
lot less reliable this time around.

FWIW, if the only video shot is a long shot of a talking head wireless
discussion, save the bandwidth and only stream the audio, or cut to the
slides if there are some. Burning 80k to see a pixelated animation doesn't
do anyone any good.

Methinkg Akamai might be a candidate to offer this service to nanog in
the future perhaps? :slight_smile:

Avi?

FWIW the stream is working fine for me except they're not showing the
slides...

I'm not sure whom to contact, but if the person responsible for the
webcasts want's to contact me off list, I can offer up some idea's.
(I've got some experience pushing webcast's to 2000+)

Raises hand as someone who'd be willing to pay a virtual attendance fee.

I've tried several times to suggest a virtual attendance fee for IETF meetings as well. There seems to be significant resistance to the concept in that group, perhaps NANOG will be more receptive?

For the fee, I'd expect some sort of a back-channel as well (IRC channel, email address or something so that folks who're attending virtually can ask questions of the presenter).
