@alienghic @bms48 @Andres4NY @KathyReid > is not particularly good at updating data It is meant to be particularly good at preserving and distributing data. Thats why the FS came there. So no, you can't do "live stream", but "past stream" file you can seed from a home line and it will migrate to the node(s) closest to the subset(s) of recipients. And will stay there as long as the policies say (usually as long as there is a free space for newer content).

@alienghic @ohir @Andres4NY @KathyReid Inter-domain multicast. Here be dragons. Hardly any ISP does it properly. The only people who do do it properly are high frequency financial traders and investment banks, or very dedicated academic and community networks. You can pretty much forget about it working properly over ad-hoc nets; that is a very specialist topic. I wrote an OLSR process for mobile/wireless use that CRC Canada took an interest in and left the design open for that, but very 2FC!

@alienghic @ohir @Andres4NY @KathyReid I can probably claim to know a bit about multicast as I wrote the host-side portion of the control protocols MLD/IGMP. BSD license Corporate Free rider effect: every time someone connects with an iPhone, my code runs. Apple integrated the code, I don't get a royalty, and any attempts by them to recruit me over the years have been... somewhat cack handed to say the least, plus they dicked over a now deceased close friend on some GPU driver code in the 00s.
