Some (older) switches tend to go haywire if they have many multicast clients.  Apart
from that, it has been a pretty easy ride.

Over here, the main "problem" however is the same as with IPv6.  It's implemented, it's
working...but nobody's interested in using it. :)  About 99.99% of our traffic is plain
old unicast IPv4.
