7 | 7 | The '''AribaMC''' plugin is an Open Source streaming module for the [http://www.videolan.org VLC media player]. It enables video streaming through the overlay-based virtual network substrate Ariba in combination with the MCPO application-layer multicast protocol. With '''AribaMC''' you can deliver video streams to groups of users, similar to IP Multicast, but without any need of in-network multicast support. Also, through the use of Ariba, '''AribaMC''' can cope with several protocol issues such as IPv4/IPv6 transitions, Network Address Translation (NAT), mobility, and many more networking problems in a self-organized and distributed manner. |
