Well, yes, that's true, but i think there are other ways to avoid that than simply cutting every multicast packet. Just get in prison anyone trying to send a viagra mens. to *.*.*.* lol. Anyway muticast is a GREAT addition if you need to stream high quality
video inside the same corporate network (ip tv for example). So, yes... it's a great feature.
Ey, that'd be a wonderful first step wouldn't it? You would be able to have some rich-media apps in your corporate intranet without overloading the net traffic (talk about multi-videoconferencing between HQs in different cities through corporate network!) But i think that in order to achieve this goal we need also to develop
UDP transport instead of TCP... and this is most likely not possible with current AMF packet structure and (more important) using actual flash player codecs.
Here's where i get lost, i'm not such a network expert, i'm more software engeniering oriented hehe, but still thinking and perhaps this is plain silly but...¿isn't there a way to encapsulate our dear rmpt into something bigger and multicast-able? Discuss ;) Just my 2 cents.
