It's not a misconception. A portion of my available bandwidth is wasted by the exchange of routing information, etc. that I don't need on a PTP connection. It does "work OK"... But it would be even better if I didn't have to waste BW unnecessarily. Thus, my interest in UTG. UTG also works on Win95/98, since the client is Java. Very nice for those of us not connected directly to a multicast router, since there is no mrouted for Windows.
