Will IP multicast help with the usenet stuff?
Tangental question.
Kurt Lidl and company's excellent MUSE paper, presented at USENIX in Winter 1994 details early attempts to distribute news via the MBONE.

On the final hand, NNTP distribution is much less broken than Web distribution, and the latter distribution problem probably deserves to be attacked first.

Actually this is a quite horrible protocol. It is not reliable and you still need to run regular news feeds. If anyone is really interested in writing a good reliable multicast new protocol I suggest you read this internet draft: Title : The Multicast Dissemination Protocol (MDP) Framework Author(s) : J. Macker, W. Dang Filename : draft-macker-mdp-framework-02.txt Pages : 14 Date : 06/06/1997 And while at it someone write something better than INND. This bag of c programs, shell, awk, and sed scripts needs to be put to rest. Cheers.
