Starburst published an ID a long time ago which I remember reading. But,
I don't think it became an RFC and I don't have a pointer to it (and the ID
has long since expired). (I might be wrong about the RFC. It is worth
checking.)
Are you looking for specific product information or ideas on the concept
in general? My company makes a satellite based product called Package
Delivery which you should be able to get info about from our web site
(www.hns.com). For general information, the Reliable Multicast Transport
(http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/rmt-charter.html) working group is
currently working on standardizing reliable multicast file transport
protocols.

ISTR reading an RFC or ID awhile back about using multicast to
distribute files to many hosts from a central server via
multicast. But I'm having no luck today with the search engines, and
can't find it again.
Can anyone post a pointer?
