All things related to multicast

["THOMAS, PHIL" <>]

I am also very interested in this.

I have been working with Cisco LWAP Controller platform trying to get
multicast IP TV to work.

Cisco say's that their controllers can handle multicast, but so far we have
run in to a lot of issues. In fact I have a Tac open, that looks like we
have found a bug.
