For broadcast networks, what we're seeing they like is that 
unlike satellite transmissions, there is more flexibility 
for them on IP (IPTv), which would let them lift compression 
rates and pack more data into a stream.

But because most of them are primarily satellite 
broadcasting houses, only starting to roll-out IPTv, they 
need to maintain parity on both transmission media.

Whatever the case, 5Mbps would be too low. At 1080i, we have 
a customer pushing HD channels at about 13Mbps a piece, give 
or take.

 That could be one of the things that helps spur v6 adoption -
 multicast being somewhat less of an afterthought :)
 
 While v4 multicast works, and delivering video is one of the things
 it can do very well, some networks don't route v4 multicast or
 exchange v4 multicast prefixes, so its utility on a wide scale can
 be limited.

This is misguided, IPV6 does no magic to help scale multicast to Internet
scale compared to IPV4.

Scaling multicast to Internet scale  would make our core routers
essentially flow based routers. And as there is finite amount of how many
of these flows you could hold, we would need some way to globally regulate
how and who can push their content as multicast and save lot of money and
who will have to pay the full price.
Those who are left out, might feel like multicast is used to stop
competition.


Now maybe we could specify some sort of stateless 'manycast' in IPv6, where
you'd map destination AS numbers as source address. Needing to send only
one copy of traffic per destination ASN (or less if you can map multiple
ASN in source address), and then destination ASN would need to have Magic
Box to do stateful magic and could cherry-pick what they care about. But
that's lot of complexity for very incomplete solution, as it would only
remove states from transit.

Actually, IPv6 embedded RP improves scalability over IPv4 MSDP peering and

Unfortunately that does exactly nothing to help with Internet scale. 

Now scaling for your local environment embedded RP might be beneficial, but
actual practical applications where you need ASM are very few.

Most vendors took out hardware multicast support and do it via recirculation
these days.

I'm more interested in other topics, this would likely be served by a CDN,
and I'm curious if any CDNs have started placing gear behind CGN/LSN.

I've also noticed some hotels and other 'guest net' folks capturing 4.2.2.1
and comparable open recursive name servers in-house.  Two weeks ago I could ping
4.2.2.1 and get responses when TTL was set to 1 on my outgoing packets.

CDNs have shown hesitation to receiving traffic from non-unique ipv4 space
despite the obvious benefits of CGN bypass.

It will be at least 9-10 years before Google could bid. I think the TV

NFL decides to do something with the NFL Network games they are likely SOL.

ESPN renewed their MNF contract through 2021.

Only so much.

No matter what they show on CSI about enhancing video, if that stream got
compressed so the football Tim Tebow just threw is just a brown ellipse,
there;s no legitimate way to put the seams back on that sucker.

But the TV should only be receiving one stream at a time, unless there
is pip.  Each stream would probably be around 5mbps.

If multicast is used it shouldn't take 150pbps, it should be much lower.

I believe you're an optimist.

Weekly football is probably the second most important thing on a TV network
behind the championships for whatever sport they're carrying, in a year.

I'm not saying you need the whole 19mbps (though, remember here, we are not

Yup; at varying bit rates;  I worked for a program provider to both, and I

Cool.  Is information about who buys what, closely guarded?
If you have seen the effects of 'starving' content with fast motion, I'd be 
interested in hearing what that looked like.
I'm familiar with resolution vs. screen size vs. viewing distance factors, btw.
