Looking at archived #multicast projects from the 1990s. I feel a little sad.

All these projects with different distributed use cases for multicast.

It's not just for streaming.

#librecast wants to bring back multicast. We want to do more with it.

At it's heart multicast is networking with consent. From the very fact it is pub/sub
