The follow-on to DARTnet was CAIRN.  i don't know if CAIRN projects had funding for the MBONE. Allison Mankin might be able to fill in this part of the story (Some other people who could probably say more include Steve Deering, Dave Clark, John Worclawski,  Lixia, Van, and Deborah Estrin. There are others but unfortunately some of them are no longer with us). I worked on DARTnet but not CAIRN.

There is a presentation starting on page 523 of the proceedings of the 23rd IETF by Steve Casner and Steve Deering that mentions the multicast and audio technology used during that meeting was developed and tested in the DARTnet research testbed. [1]
