Even worse, multicast is truly only suitable for live applications; on-demand content can't be realistically mcasted, and users will not settle for "the movie starts every 15 minutes" when they've been used to live VOD with unicast. The only saving grace may be things like TiVo, where an intelligent agent slurps up live mcasts in hopes that the user may want to watch it "live" later.
Really? What about DF-like technologies? Dave
