Yeah, I was scanning this to see if anyone had brought up Moxi. Let's hope this thing doesn't get mired in DRM issues - it looks really nice. I also saw that the new Escient systems are making use of 802.11a for inhome distribution of content.
Good point. I know the tech behind it too:) Fortunately, the number of receivers out there today isn't going to threaten the scaling limitations of these systems anytime soon. Hopefully someone will figure out DRM soon. I think that will help get some good content out there.
RFC 2627 - Wallner, Harder, Agee draft (NSA) deals with this problem. It is what the SMUG's entire work is based upon.

So far, PassEdge (formerly a division of Intel Labs) has the best working product that can IPSEC encrpyt multicast flows using this concept. Reliacast is working on something, and IBM has a toolkit you can download and play with.
Not to mention most ISPs these days will want you to run PIM-SM. Fortunately Linux has support that you can build into the Kernel. You'll want to make sure you build in GRE tunnel support at the same time too.
