MBONE

a virtual network that is layered on top of portions of the physical Internet
to support routing of IP multicast packets because that function has not yet
been integrated into many production routers. The network is composed of
islands that can directly support IP multicast, such as multicast LANs like
Ethernet, linked by virtual point-to-point links called .tunnels.. The tunnel
endpoints are typically workstation-class machines having operating system
support for IP multicast and running the .m routed. multicast routing daemon.
