- IP Multicasting is not part of current HP-UX. One rising star protocol
- has a need for it, OSPF (a routing protocol), this greatly increases the
- chances of IP Multicasting existing in the future on HP-UX. I would
- recommend requesting your HP Sales reps to file an enhancement request, it
- may help the chances that much more.
