Is it just me, or is the worldwide 'uptime' of multicast actually going down at present? Or is this a UK-only observation? Or am I paranoid and there are just more people using AG, and therefore chatting on ag-tech, than before?
The problems I sense are that more suppliers are now in the market and the interoperability between manufacturers is decreasing, so when a site changes a router, especially to one from a different manufacturer, the chances are that multicast doesn't work until someone complains that it isn't working. As a result there are an increasing number of local problems (compounded by the usual one of finding anyone who knows anything concrete about multicast at a given site) rather than a global cause, but the result is an increasing global problem. Someone tell me I'm just having a bad week!
