I don't see why, as an ISP, I should carry multiple, identical, payload packets for the same content. I'm more than happy to replicate them closer to my subscribers on behalf of the content publishers. How we do this is the question, i.e. what form the "multi"-"casting" takes. It would be nice if we could take advantage of an inherent design of IP and the hardware it runs on, to duplicate the actual packets in-flow as near as is required to the destination. Installing L7 content delivery boxes or caches is OK, but doesn't seem as efficient as an overall technical solution. Aled On 11 February 2013 11:03, Adam Vitkovsky <adam.vitkovsky () swan sk> wrote:

Essentially multicast means core is flow-routing. So we'd need some way to decide who gets to send their content as multicast and who are forced to send unicast. It could create de-facto monopolies, as new entries to the market wont have their multicast carried, they cannot compete pricing wise with established players who are carried. -- ++ytti
