Juha,
I am not suggesting use only VPI to solve the multicast problem.
Various combinations of solutions may be used to address the
specifics of an environment. Perhaps 4000 customer sites
correspond to several hundreds of organizations, say 4000
organizations anyway. Even then considering the geographics
of sites, isn't it possible to have one VP to be used to
support more than one organization and reserve separate VC ranges
for different customers. 65000 VCs on a VP perhaps can be used
to support several hundreds of organizations. Security, virtual
lans, etc can be supported by managing the VC space externally.
Yet, these VPs and unique VCs within a VP can still be used for
multicast, relatively an easy task with a good VP provisioning
tool (none that I am aware of exist today but surely doable).
I am not sure if you agree with any of this.
