: I currently show 69695 prefixes on the internet. of those, :7366 are currently multicast capable, which is 10.5%. : : I take some issue with your statement, as more hosts are currently :connected than ever before, and I see it increase daily. I doubt it will :reach 100% anytime soon, but it's far more deployed than it has ever :been, and continues to be deployed. Attacks related to multicast connectivity :need to be taken into account. : : - Jared : :-- :Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net :clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine. There are two waring multicast protocols... the one originally designed for BSD (mrouted), and Cisco's more modern mcast protocols. Until the protocols are reconciled you aren't going to be seeing much in the way of high-bandwidth multicasting. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@backplane.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
