Hello AGTech,
I experienced numerous audio and video freeze ups during a conference today. I was connected over multicast into Optiverse over the NCSA this morning and successfully tested before the event began. The audio and video froze up at the same time and the bit rate went to zero. In a few minutes the audio and video returned. I did not need to reconnect into the venue. The site that was hosting the seminar reported no freeze up on their end. From your experience would this suggest multicast failure between NCSA and our site or just at our site? Would it have helped to bridge Unicast in this case? Ultimately this is difficult to debug without giving you more concrete data but from your experiences, what could have been going on? I would have expected to have been disconnected from the venue and require reconnecting to the room. I do have one other piece of information to add. Most every time I connect in a venue with this site, I do not see them come up in VIC but I do see them in RAT. Although I don't see this site in VIC, I get all their video streams. Interesting. Thank you, John John Langkals Systems Manager OCTS M2021 Physics Research Building 191 West Woodruff Avenue Columbus, Ohio 43210 614.292.6957 Office 614.327.3732 Cell 614.292.7557 FAX www.octs.osu.edu<file:///C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\john\Application%20Data\Microsoft\Signatures\www.octs.osu.edu>
