Hello PJ,

Actually, the technology that Victor asked about is unrelated to the media server in NetWare v5.1 ...

The Media Server is simply a streaming server that provides streaming of .RM (RealMedia), MPEG, and MP3 Audio files ... there is no QuickTime or AVI support yet, that I am aware of ...

The technology that Victor was referring to is again a demonstration by Drew Major of the power of ICS. Drew demonstrated a very powerful capability to split *and* cache live QuickTime video streams ... this is going to be very useful in the future for Internet broadcasts and goes far beyond the limited capabilities of Multicasts ...

I have not seen any mention of when this will see it's way into the actual product yet ...
