Fair enough. :-)

Nearly everything has a time and place, though.

Pretty much everything on this thread is speculative.

You are correct. Today, IP multicast is limited to a few small

I am curious. Why do you think that ?

I could have said the same thing, but with an opposite end meaning.
You take one 10+ year technology with minimal deployment and put it
on top of another 10+ year technology also far from being widely
deployed and you end up with something quickly approaching zero
deployment, instantly.  :-)
