Multicast over Internet

[TheGenesis]

Are there any plans to implement an intelligent Unicast-Chaining mechanism to emulate multicast functionality over Internet ?

I have installed some bridges by hand using standard Internet-Connections and the results where amazing.

1. MyServer -> --sout=#standard{mux=asfh,url=:50500,access=mmsh}
2. Client1 -> mmsh://ip.of.Myserver:50500 --sout=#standard{mux=asfh,access=mmsh,url=:50500}
3. Client2 -> mmsh://ip.of.Client1:50500 --sout=#standard{mux=asfh,access=mmsh,url=:50500}
4. Client3 -> mmsh://ip.of.Client2:50500 --sout=#standard{mux=asfh,access=mmsh,url=:50500}
...etc...etc...etc

Each connected Client is using his upload-bandwidth to feed the next Client in the chain.

If the first chain will now control the connection-requests of new chain-members and will permanently check if one (or more) chains become dead/unstable, we have a perfectly emulated Broadcast/Multicast system.

Anybody interested in coding such a feature ?
