What’s Wrong?
•Multicast in the Internet is an all-or-nothing solution
•Even Mcast-aware content owners must provide unicast streams to gain audience size
•Unicast will never scale
•Splitters/Caches just distribute the problem
•Still has a cost-per-user
•As receiver BW increases, problem gets worse.
•Creates a non-functional business model
•Will never bring ~real content to IP.
•Must provide a multicast-only solution for content owners; but how??
•
