Re: Differences between INT and MMT tables for address resolution?

[Harald Skinnemoen <harald.skinnemoen@nera.no>]

Hi all,

I'm looking for some further info on
the practical use of the INT tables.  Does anybody know of anyone
who has implemented satellite multicast by using the INT tables? 

Seems to me the MMT tables are used
in at least a couple of systems. I'm however not sure how users satisfaction
is, as it seems to me it can't offer the same dynamics and flexibility
as a terrestrial IP multicast system. 

Best regards,

/Harald

Before delving into the DVB archives, does somebody know:

a. Where the Multicast Map Table is officially defined ? Is there a DVB
reference ?

b. What is the relation between the INT (IP/MAC Notification Table) , as
defined in ETSI EN Draft 301 192 v1.3.1 (2002-12) ? In addition to offering
unicast/MAC streams/platform concept, is it  making the MMT obsolete  ? Is
there a reference to minutes of some DVB meeting that explains the relation
between the two ?

My understanding is that EN 301 192 v1.3.1 (DVB data broadcasting)  document
now includes the document referenced in Gorries report from Atlanta (ETSI EN
drTS 102 00X V0.4.2 (2002-07) "Specification for IP Notification in DVB
Systems Use of the IP/MAC Notification Table").
