All things related to multicast

Alan et al,

Based on the recent emergency of a number of commercial and academic IP video 
software applications/technologies, it would be helpful to have a pros/cons 
discussion on application level multicast (p2p multicast) vs IP multicast in 
relationship to impact on Internet2 Network, RON networks, campus networks. 

The target outcomes of this discussion include some take home points on what 
application level multicast (p2p multicast) is, what pros/cons of application 
level multicast (p2p multicast) and IP multicast are, and how the advanced 
networking community deal with these applications that already exist on 
campus or will soon impact our networks.
