How would that work? Since there's no backpressure on the multicast 
source, you'd just end up dropping packets, right? I guess it would 
help to reserve some room for other traffic, but I would think that 
once the students learn that running too much multicast makes their 
KaZaA downloads slow, they'd watch fewer channels ;)
