Re: Multicast

How about a torrent with 300 peers?

 What about it? Torrents are a non-starter for IPTV because the bandwidth grows linearly with the number of viewers.

Multicast = each packet delivered to many recipients; bandwidth usage remains flat as subscribers are added.

Torrent = each recipient needs their own unique packet; number of packets on the network increases linearly as viewers are added.

Jamaica, NY		 Torrents can be streamed, with traditional swarming to make up for lost blocks. Its not rocket science. Only question is, will the power ever allow their holy multicast IPs to land in the hands of consumers?
