As far as I am concerned the killer application for IP multicast is *NOT* video, it's market data feeds from NYSE, NASDAQ, CBOT, etc.
You can go compare the relative successes of Yahoo! Finance and YouTube.
While it might be nice to multicast that sort of data, it's a relative trickle of data, and I'll bet that the majority of users have not only not visited a market data site this week, but have actually never done so.
As if most financial (and other mega-dataset) data was on consumer Web sites. Think pricing feeds off stock exchange back-office systems. _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list NANOG@nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog
