There was a lengthy discussion about that on NANOG a week or so ago. I don't claim to understand all facets of multicast but it could be a sort of way to operate "tv station" type scheduled programming for streaming media. There's no way to pause, rewind or otherwise seek multicasted media though. It would be going backwards in terms of what consumers want these days. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbone It seems to me that every provider these days is using a year 2K business model with 2011 bandwidth requirements and then complaining that consumers are transferring too much data. -- Landon Stewart <LStewart () SUPERB NET> SuperbHosting.Net by Superb Internet Corp.
