All things related to multicast

[Bruce Curtis <>]

  In light of the recent discussions on whether R&E backbones should continue 
to support inter domain multicast I decided to re-send this.  I am not saying 
that ICN requires us to support multicast, it just points out that we need to 
consider that there might be new technologies being worked on that may 
benefit from having multicast working on an R&E network so that the R&E 
network can be used as a testbed or that make it possible to build ICN or 
other network overplayed on the R&E network’s multicast capabilities.


"In a nutshell, ICN is an implicit multicast system that by default delivers 
all the performance benefits enjoyed by such an approach, which will be 
significant when such a system is operated at large scale. Intuitively, this 
performance gain grows linearly with the number of video clients involved in 
the system, delivering possibly orders of magnitude improvements over current 
systems.”
