MBONE

In computing, layer of the Internet designed to deliver packets of multimedia data, enabling video and audio communication. It can be used for telephony and video-conferencing – however, it can deliver a maximum of only five video frames per second, as opposed to television's 30. Large rock concerts are occasionally broadcast on the MBONE.
