Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely:  evaluates the so-called Multicasting via Paths (MVP) protocol. Both an ILP-based (exact) algorithm and a greedy heuristic algorithm for finding MVP paths are presented. By numerical experiments,  find that MVP is usually cheaper than IP multicast within ISP networks (in terms of sum of edge costs), and is only about 0–30% more expensive beten ISPs, where the number of destination Autonomous Systems (AS) was varied from 2 to 1024. For comparison, multiple unicast transmissions (IP unicast) is about 15–140% more expensive beten ISPs. This suggests that, due to reduced forwarding complexity, the MVP protocol is a viable option for the future Internet.
