Dear Wang Hui,

yesterday in your presentation you made two statements which I forgot to 
ask about:

  1. You want to avoid a scaling problem of IP Multicast
  2. Labelcast as a new transport protocol remains application-transparent

So, my questions are

  ad 1.) Which scaling problem do you refer to?
  ad 2.) What API allows you to use a different transport protocol 
without changing the application?

Thanks,

Thomas
