Ok folks,

So I have my MSDP all up and running, and my regional WAN provider will happily peer. But, what's in it for my campus?

Especially given the idea that traffic can be quickly flooded into my network through an MSDP storm, or perhaps a malware can be introduced that forces client machines to "join" a group for fun. I gotta be honest, I am a little gun shy here....

Someone hurry up and finish that killer app, ok!
