That’s why I used Part 1 in this new series to introduce you to the key moving parts of multicast theory. If no-one uses it, there’s no reason to learn it.Īnd that’s a shame, because it’s actually a really exciting protocol. If they don’t understand it, they don’t use it. It’s a vicious circle: if people don’t learn it, they don’t understand it. This situation isn’t helped by the fact that it’s either being removed or de-prioritised from vendor certs. They know it’s different to broadcast and unicast, they know what it achieves, but that tends to be where the knowledge ends. In my experience, I’ve found – as I’m sure you’ve found – that the majority of engineers know almost nothing about multicast. Truly, our leaders have a lot to answer for.īut hey: forget I said literally every single word of that. Just trust me when I say that even a few hours spent studying multicast could have brought some much-needed stability to the fragile geo-political scene. Poverty, climate change, and 90% of global wars could have EASILY been solved by a strategic multicast deployment. Think of the problems it could have solved. What a shame that we didn’t hear more about multicast in the 2010s. What crazy trends we had! Do you remember coconut lattes? Remember vaporwave? Remember “doing it for the ‘Gram”? Remember the petrifying realisation of our own mortality on this doomed planet? Remember avocado on toast? What a time to be alive it was!
