   But the idea of doing software updates via multicast is a good foot in the door because it has clear benefits for everyone. Imagine you've got a stadium full of vulnerable IP cameras. No one wants to click "update" on each of 2000 web control panels. And no one wants a botnet of ip cameras. Also no one wants traffic choking their network or to buy a beefy server just to handle the thundering herd of cameras during updates.

     I would counter that the stadium full of IP cameras which there are exist are already controlled over the stadium network.

     And because I actually passed through a company that’s responsible for camera monitoring systems I will tell you more often than not, their solution is to have a network completely unconnected to the Internet. The devices would be controlled over the isolated network.
