I got to disagree. MSDP PIM and MBGP are all working fine… but to be honest until BGMP and IGMPv3 with PIM-SSM are widely deployed then its not really the content your waiting for…  it’s the ease of  making content multicastable ™ that is holding everyone up. There is plenty of content there… kinda like the chicken and the egg…

 

Just my thoughts anyhow…

PS is this a “geek” group and should be subjecting people to this?

 

I don't know about the Geek ratio of this group... I guess we'll find out.
  
SSM is cool, but it is not necessary to source content. I would not hold
up anything for that.
Doing multicast is not really that hard, anyway. If you want, we can do it
for you :)
  
BGMP is more or less dead in the water. (I'm part of the IETF working group.)
It may
be available for IPv6, but will never be for IPv4. If you wait for it, you'll
be waiting a long
time.
