I've seen this in action as far back as 1998 and just don't quite grok why it never took off.
Let me paraphrase a couple folks who summed it all up very nicely: "So assuming router state based multicast, how do you bill on that if the stream is exploded on the opposite end of, or in the middle of, a transit network?" The simplified answer of "only as the stream actually transiting the network" won't fly with most bean counters, because in their eyes, every packet going through the network should be billed as bandwidth consumed. Multicast turns that notion inside out, because while multicast saves bandwidth generally, the bandwidth multiplies as it transits a for-pay network, meaning that more resources are consumed and thus ... could be billed for money. Traditional v4 multicast, then, is unlikely to see deployment outside of an organiation's own garden network, and you have near zero uptake. Follow the money, as always. :) -- -- Todd Vierling <tv () duh org> <tv () pobox com> <todd () vierling name>
