Package mil.navy.nps.bridge Description

Includes several programs that enable multicast PDU streams to be redirected via unicast sockets. Bridging was initially necessary because some browsers were still using JDK 1.0 and did not have native multicast support. We have revised (or eliminated the need for) all of bridge programs now that connectivity to be browser (both unicast and multicast UDP) has finally been achieved. A future software build may revise all of the default socket addresses & ports simultaneously.

We are working on simple, general and ubiquitous multicast DIS connectivity. Among other things, we expect to connect home PCs via unicast-only phone connections to multicast bridging servers. Currently this work is handicapped by problems in the Windows network stack implementations.
