-    metropolitan or wide area networks (MAN, WAN), 
-    thanks to the multicast technology.
-    The VideoLAN solution includes a server, which can stream video from
-    various sources (file, DVD, satellite, camera, ...), a client, which can
-    receive, decode and display MPEG 1 and MPEG 2 streams and, if necessary,
-    a channel server which tells automatically to the client the parameters
-    needed to receive the stream.
