UPD Multicast (Class D) = How can this be routed over the internet?

Question

is there a simple way (without setting up a local network via VPN) to route UPD Multicast Packets (224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255) from one server to another server (both residing in completely different networks as they are hosted with different companies...)?

Thanks Jens

Short answer : no. Not over the public Internet.

One way to do this is to set up a MPLS link between these two networks or a VPN.

If you really need this, you can set up two UDP multicast repeaters (one on each LAN), linked by a TCP connection (or UDP unicast).
