Hi-
I thought the "no land wars in Asia" comment last night with respect to
multicast was hilarious. Some comments though:
1. It might be shortsighted to take such a narrow view on multicast at the
moment. Given the ubiquity of IP now and move that forward by X number of
years along with the resource efficiencies for broadcast-style (and other
applications) that multicast offers, it seems that Internet multicast
routing should be a priority.
2. Section 4.3 takes another (slightly less humorous) swipe at multicast.
This might be the time to get it right ... or else you will have a bunch of
engineers in 10 years standing around watching gazzillions of duplicate
SCTP unicast packets of the live MARS landing video feed bring down
Internet 5.
I understand the focus here is on next generation inter-domain routing
requirements.
Thanks ...
