Re: Multicast is GOOD, write for it today... You read the paper, but did you understand the paper beyond the experimental use of multicast in P2P setups? Do you understand the issues that implementation of such a design would create? Do you understand the network and infrastructure issues? Do you understand the issues of scalability in such a design?
it make it perfactly clear your View is the antiquated old school way of thinking, and is just an excuse NOT to provide it to the end users. Antiquated old school? Not even close. Skeptical of real-world benefits and cautious of the issues that would be caused because I know how multicast works, yep.
Do you understand multicast or how it even works? Do you have any clue of the issues that would be caused in routers in a design like this where P2P sessions are constantly built and broken down? Do you know the status of multicast support across the dozens of hardware and software platforms out there from the OS to the $40 Linksys router at your house?
I'd wager you do not.
