Subject: Tunnel request

I would like to add my site, usma.ac.pa,  to the
 MBone via a tunnel to conduct some experiments.

 My tunnel endpoints are configured as follows:
 main mrouter
  mrouter configuration:  PentiumII running FreeBSD 2.2.5 
  multicast kernel applied by default + MROUTING option
  optimized as router with mrouted 3.8a from FreeBSD distribution
  mrouter ip address on network  208.143.x.x
 
 secondary mrouter
  mrouter configuration: Pentium running FreeBSD 2.2.5 
  multicast kernel applied by default + MROUTING option
  optimized as router with mrouted 3.8a from FreeBSD distribution 
  mrouter ip address on network 168.77.x.x 

 the primary mrouter links to the internet via a dedicated leased line
 of currently 64 kbps, soon to be upgraded 

 Our primary objective is to evaluate performance of our setup when
 linked to the main mbone.
 At present our site and a subnet in our country is multicast enable
 via mrouters or multicast-capable Cisco and 3Com routers.
 For the next step (a permanent link to the mbone) we need to rate and
 measure our capability to handle all mbone's multicast traffic.

 We will provide more details (ip's addresses, etc) to those willing to
 give a hand on this.

 I appreciate in advance any help in providing me with a tunnel,
 for any detailed information on our research and purpose of
 getting in the MBone, please check our website:

 It's still in spanish but versions in various languages are coming.
