Ofcourse. The supernodes could seed with no impact on delivery
bandwidth. This model would encourage multiple supernodes seeding
downloaders via carousels. But at some point the system would implode
unless it self-regulates.
You wouldn't want end users multicasting. You would want a guaranteed
supernode multicast delivery mechanism, and then allow them to unicast
between themselves when sufficiently seeded. The multicast would serve
as an accelerant to get the file or better still streaming video
delivered quicker.
