I'm a newbie at networking. I understand the concept of multicast, but was wondering if it's reliable on the open/public internet?
It seems like sort of an edge case that different backbones or ISPs might intentionally break to reduce router load or generally segment the network for practical high-use applications.
Is my fear reasonable?
