Hello;
By everything I can tell, it's roughly about 10% for global
deployment, see
http://www.multicasttech.com/status
and is becoming basically BCP in the enterprise IPTV environment
(which are currently all
"walled gardens"). (Note that this deployment is effectively entirely
ASM / IGMP v2.)
By any measure, multicast deployment is much larger than IPv6
deployment at present, and it is growing.
I will be glad to argue the point to any length you might desire.
Of course, the deployment did not exactly take the form that was
anticipated in 2000...
Regards
Marshall
