Re: Multicast

Ali;

are you suggesting that there is no multicast problem :-)
There is none remaining.

Well, what about scalability,

Which scalability?

In a sense, multicast is proven not to scale that aggregation of
multicast routing table entries is impossible, which is why
it is a resource reserved communication.

Income scales proportional to the number of groups that
you can afford larger routing table.

and the interoperability with the underlying unicast
protocols.

The current underlying unicast protocols are best effort and irrelevant.

and what about the interdomain multicast???

Huh?

It is crazy to first design a intra domain protocol with a lot
of scalability problems and expect an interdomain protocol
magically fix the problems.

Protocols should just work.

Please don't say interdomain policy control by BGP. BGP is for
best effort policy.

I'm saying it was simple and easy to solve the resource reservation
and multicast problems at once (www.real-internet.org).

Is that the draft :Simple Resource ReSerVation Protocol (SRSVP) (in English)
or there is another one??

There are several. Some of them are available in Japanese only, I think.

I didnt found it in the internet-drafts at the IETF !!!

I think it was not posted at all.
