NERD ON THE STREET

Nerd on the Street extends kudos to all vendors who pushed the cause of good IP multicasting in 1998. Topping the list would have to be the combined efforts of Tibco and Cisco Systems for their submission of their reliable IP multicast specification to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Dubbed the PGM Reliable Transport Protocol, it was developed to ease network management tasks for applications such as desktop conferencing, software distribution, stock quotes and real-time news distribution and messaging. Globalcast Communications announced its support for the proposed industry standard, and other companies such as Intel and Microsoft are reviewing it (TTW, February 16). Although not a standards effort, Talarian and Globalcast have integrated Globalcast's IP multicast technology with Talarian's Smartsockets publish/subscribe middleware to support real-time, event driven applications. In addition, Globalcast has offered a protocol to the IETF.
