All things related to multicast

I think the key SDF file to delete is the localhost one.  If I am not
mistaken, this is where the sessions announced via SDP would be stored.  I
suspect there was some announcement that IPTV did not like.  Since it was at
least two versions of IPTV and multiple Windows platforms, Cisco might like to
see you localhost SDF file to see if they could replicate it.  I didn't think
quickly enough and totally deleted my copies.
