I sure as hell need to read up again. I keep getting sidetracked with other things. Perhaps after I wrap up the IPv6

With the pending large scale IPv6 deployment across the Internet, service providers have a unique opportunity to 
deploy IPv6 multicast alongside IPv6 unicast instead of trying to shim it in afterwards.

Note that IPv6 multicast doesn't really solve multicast problems, except that embedded RPs may make ASM easier to 
deploy. 

The various IPv6 wikis could use a good sprinkling of multicast howtos.


True. Want to help with that ?
