[Nel] Suggestion for the NeL network library / architecture

[Dim Segebart]

Hello !
Just one question.

>From http://pgm.tibco.com/draft-speakman-pgm-spec-04.txt
>>> PGM runs over a datagram multicast protocol such as IP multicast [5].

AFAIK, many ISP's ban multicast traffic and many users'll be unable to use
software based on it.
Am I wrong or missing something ?
TIA
