Have you ever actually been involved with really large scale multicast implementations? I take it that's a no.
The -only- way that would work internet wide, and it defeats the purpose, is if your client side created a tunnel back to your multicast source network. Which would mean you're carrying your multicast data over anycast.
If you, the multicast broadcaster, dont have extensive control of the -entire- end to end IP network, it will be significantly broken significant amounts of the time.
