Notes
Windows Media Services supports Internet
Protocol version 6 (IPv6). IPv6 is the newest version of the
Internet Protocol and was designed to accommodate increasing demand
for unique IP addresses. IPv6 increases the IP address size from 32
bits to 128 bits to support more levels of addressing hierarchy and
a greater number of addressable nodes. Not all networks are
configured to use IPv6, but Windows Media Services will
automatically use IPv6 when it is available. For more information
about IPv6, refer to the IPv6 page at the Microsoft Web site.
Multicast streaming and the WMS Multicast Data
Writer plug-in are available only if Windows Media Services 9
Series is running on the following editions of the operating
system: Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition and Windows Server
2003, Datacenter Edition. If you are running Windows Server 2003,
Standard Edition, these features are not supported.
