Multicast is broken as an idea, period. Now, why won't we just forget about it and spend our life doing something useful instead?
because, although it is getting less expensive quickly, transport costs money. multicast promises to reduce that cost near sources.
I strongly suspect that the combined time of engineering staff spent on deployment and development of mulitcasting won't be paid off by the supposed transport cost savings any time soon. Worse yet, it distracts from deployment of the real solution - cacheing.
this is a better fantasy than the qos smokers who think it will effectively get more bits into the pipe.
