Craig, Are you looking at this from a wireless perspective, worried, or both?
What is your wireless platform? We implemented multicast IPTV on Aruba wireless using our existing Haivision wired IPTV services. In fact, we helped Aruba test their "Dynamic Multicast Optimization" solution. Generally, for 802.11 networks, multicast is transmitted at the lowest transmitted rate. That is bad for multicast video. Since our video streams are encrypted, we cannot apply QoS separately to prioritize key frames. If you wish, I can reach out to our IPTV team to get more information on our Haivision (formerly Video Furnace) system.
