Hi everybody !

I'm experiencing a strange problem with VLC while streaming my channels 
over my network in multicast. As soon as I start streaming my channels, 
the network seems to be saturated.
My network is private : 172.16.0.0 / 255.255.0.0, no routers.
DNS server do not respond anymore and no ping can travel through the 
network. As soon as I stop it, everything goes back to normal.
I don't have a complete access to the network hardware but I was told 
that it is 100Mbit/s fully switched (no hubs, which I doubt to be 
true...) with 1Gbit/s uplinks.
I can't see why the network is saturated with only four channels 
streamed unless a hub creates a packet storm. Anyway could this come 
from SAP announces or anything else ?

This is my sout string:

#duplicate{dst=standard{access=udp,mux=ts,url=239.255.255.10,sap,name="02 
- 
France2",group="TNT"},select="program=257",dst=standard{access=udp,mux=ts,url=239.255.255.20,sap,name="03 
- 
France3",group="TNT"},select="program=292",dst=standard{access=udp,mux=ts,url=239.255.255.30,sap,name="04 
- 
France4",group="TNT"},select="program=259",dst=standard{access=udp,mux=ts,url=239.255.255.40,sap,name="05 
- France5",group="TNT"},select="program=260"}

I'm using VLC 0.8.5 from one of the nightlies.

Any help would really be appreciated !
