I have never understood how you can set up a streaming server and

be stream BW X # of streams. Each stream has its own session, right?
So with folks watching the coronation via CNN streaming, CNN cannot
possibly have a pipe large enough to give each user its own BW.
I understand how simple this is with multicast, but I have always
presumed that multicast does not traverse the public internet? Hard
enough to get it to work flawless internally with IPTV.
There is probably some kind of UDP broadcast type of thing that I have
just been unaware of.
No multicast. Big pipes and/or CDN.
