If everyone has gigabit internet to their homes, will the network cores be able to cope with everyone watching 35 Mbps UHD (Live) television streams simultaneously? Isn't it all about on-demand streaming now, rather than broad-/multi-cast? I mean, who actually watches live TV these days? It seems like building a network for the future of video consumption (Millenial and Gen-Z) will need CDN-type nodes as close as possible to distribution/aggregation nodes rather than multicast across a backbone? Maybe multicast still has a role to play to deliver content to set-top boxes...? Marek Isalski Technical Director, Faelix Limited, https://faelix.net/ Faelix Limited: Security, Networks & Software.
