Ok Ross, but if we want we can change this period of time if we want that we share this multicast stream for a long period. This easly can be done by setting the AcceptedDelayTime parameter to a great value (more than the total size of the video, this an administration parameter). Hence we finf the same fonctionnality of OnDemandMediaSubsession with reuseFirstSource set to True, but this time using a multicast session!!!

Right, and we can easly add support of the same fonctionnality (onDemand multicast) for other video format (like it's done with classic unicast OnDemand)

Ok Ross, thank you.
