If I would have to name one tool which would be more technically sound than RealMedia
or WindowsMedia, I would have pick Cisco�s IP/TV. With all it�s issues, at least
the it behaves well in varying network conditions, which cannot be said from
either WM or RM.

However, both RM and WM behave well in a robust, close-to-zero packet loss
environment when the horribly broken RM�s retransmission algorithm nor
the highly inefficient fragment-spitting of WM do not kill your media experience.

Unfortunately in this, as in so many other cases, technical competency has nothing
to do with product success.

    NANOG meetings have typically very narrowband realmedia stream sent.
