That last multicast update distribution mechanism thing sounds awfully like a weird implementation of bittorrent to me.

OLPC's software update problem Posted Jul 7, 2007 12:01 UTC (Sat) by csamuel (subscriber, #2624) [Link] I was thinking more like Flamethrower, its Freshmeat entry says: Flamethrower is a multicast file distribution system. It was originally created to add multicast install capabilities to SystemImager, but is designed as a stand-alone package. It works with entire directory heirarchies, rather than single files. It uses a server configuration file, which takes module entries similar to rsyncd.conf. It is an on-demand system; multicast of a module is initiated when a client connects, but it waits a predetermined period for other clients to connect before beginning. Sounds rather handy to me..
