Roman, >but I think that for IGs - best is multicast (no delays between channels)
Theoretically speaking, yes. But practically what delays are we talking about even with a 10 Mbps dedicated network. We will be fast enough for realtime. Synchronisation problems would not happen at the network level but could happen at the tile-loading/culling/rendering stages of each IG **if** no. of polygons/textures are different for each IG (or view). Yes multicast can certainly be useful, like httpd, for remote IGs but not for local IGs around a dedicated network. With it I could perhaps join your multicast group half way round the globe and watch you fly, bandwidth permitting.
