Internet engineers are prone to try to solve this problem in favor of the viewer, and their networks -- with their networks winning in case of a push.
Should be easy enough on your subscriber ports to use igmp to see who has subscribed to which groups, shouldn't it? Just log igmp changes and there's your accounting.
You've conflated my two points. That would tell the *carriers* who's watching what, but they probably don't care. I was talking about *the providers* knowing (think DRM and "3096 viewers online"). Cheers, -- jra
