i did indeed. there wash shushi in my keyboardsh.
UUnet's arguement for charging to sendis that you can potentially chew up large portions of their network bandwith with only a small connection yourself.
what else is multicast for? hopefully it works out cheaper than your expected outbound unicast streams would have cost (including the clue overhead for supporting mcast)
Very true. I am having a hard time grasping the technical specifics. It has taken quite a bit of study and discussion to figure out what I have so far, and I am sure I have misunderstood many things. Unfortunately, what I am finding out, is that multicast is a subject that rarely comes up as an option with customers. There isn't a demand, so the providers don't put the resources into it...
