Abstract
A multicast media system includes a network access facility that directly interconnects a second multicast-enabled network to a first multicast-enabled network. The network access facility is configured to pass a requested multicast data stream from the first multicast-enabled network to a terminal in the second multicast-enabled network that request receipt of the multicast data stream. The direct peering of multicast media can be scaled to accommodate large numbers of users.
