At SC2003 Cisco and SURFnet Demonstrate Industry's First Digital Video Transmission Using High Performance IPv6 Multicast Technology over a Trans-Atlantic Link. |
| At SC2003 Cisco highlighted its ongoing efforts to advance the state of networking by demonstrating the industry's first IPv6 multicast digital video transmission over a trans-Atlantic link using Cisco 12000 Series routers while also using the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches to aggregate IPv6 traffic at the SURFnet site in Amsterdam. Real-time applications, such as digital video, are highly sensitive to jitter and packet re-ordering and sequencing and this demonstration shows how IPv6, like IPv4, can effectively transport multiple streams of high quality video over long-haul networks. The demonstration was conducted in conjunction with SURFnet, the national computer network for higher education and research in The Netherlands.
