I'm working on a new type of protocol so that when there's a large-scale online event like the superbowl or a major boxing match on a streaming platform,

satellite and cable internet providers will be able to send a single copy of the video stream on the uplink, and using a new technique we've named "casting the net broadly" multiple viewers will be able to receive the same downlink packets

which we believe will have excellent scalability, enabling web-scale streaming video.



Isn’t this what multicast does?
