Multicast is not PIM. PIM is dead. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8279/ Significantly reduces the cost and complexity of network replication. Soon to be on the standards track. What can't BIER do? -shep On Tue, Nov 21, 2017 at 8:58 AM, Mike Hammett <nanog@ics-il.net> wrote:

It won't change significantly any time soon. I know things are changing, but it'll still take five or ten years for those changes to significantly change traffic patterns.

Unicasting what everyone watches live on a random evening would use significantly more bandwidth than Game of Thrones or whatever OTT drop. Magnitudes more. It wouldn't even be in the same ballpark.
I agree as of this moment however that will change. Also note that our customers do 100% of their TV as unicast OTT because that is the only thing we offer. This does not cause nearly as much problems as you would expect.
