Tony,
Isn't it a case that multicasting has been already obsoleted in the
quite significant degree by peercasting ?

And I am not that convinced that replication at network router/switch
level is that much more efficient then replication at the network host
level. I think it is just a matter of efficiently determining the
optimal replication points.
Cheers,
R.

Do you expect multicast route scaling to be solved in some other forum
like perhaps SAMRG?
I think you can just work on it. No permission is required. But first
you should take this up with the guys who have been working on multicast
for the last 17 years. ;-)
Seriously tho, if that's a useful work item, the RG can take it up after
this work item is complete.
