so, just for the sake of the discussion, how would you do this? Keep in mind that you probably can't (as a carrier) prefer one 'os' over another, and you will likely have to deal with everything from Windows to gentoo and all the tiny raspbian/etc in the middle. How would a carrier identify and track over time the sources of this traffic? (note that a 'registry of update sources' probably also won't fly) > as for carriers pipes...will, if multicast was seriously taken up then eg OS > updates could be streamed out on regular updates multicast, yes, of course. So... it hasn't worked yet in the last ~20 yrs of the internet, it'll work now because?
