Halfway down the first page is this:

  As the name implies, unicast rollover first tries to view a video
  via multicast, but if multicast fails it will play the same video
  via multicast.

You *will* use multicast!  MMwuahahah!  :-)  I don't think that is
what you meant.

It seems like a pretty nice approach that an application can take
to me.  It might be nice if the source has a good feature set at
their disposable to be able to do things like "only these netblocks
can get the [unicast|multicast] stream", or only X simultaneous
unicast streams permitted at one time and so on.
