Multicast is broken as an idea, period.  Now, why won't we
just forget about it and spend our life doing something
useful instead?

because, although it is getting less expensive quickly, transport costs
money.  multicast promises to reduce that cost near sources.

this is a better fantasy than the qos smokers who think it will effectively
get more bits into the pipe.
