We have a project at ISI supporting web push using multicast, adapted
from Apache, that runs on FreeBSD. It currently uses AFDP for reliable
multicast
transport (which does not optimize for satellite), but that's a plug-
replaceable component). It might be a useful place to play with some of these
issues (there's an API, in particular, that's accessible from command line
and remotely).
