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

[Winkler_Roberto/als_saccomuro@rmmail.alespazio.it]

If I may add my two cents (maybe even a bit less),the MPA and MPM tables
were
originally proposed by Spacebridge in the DVB-RCS contrbution 249 (October
2000).

I fully share Mr Zeppenfeldt's need to clarify the current status of
standardisation for DVB enhanced tables. The MPM seems to have disappeared,
but
is its original goal (mapping of IP multicast addresses to PID)fully covered
by
the INT ?

best regards
