Overview
========

Basic idea: Send one copy through your outbound tunnel, outbound endpoint
distributes to all the inbound gateways. End-end encryption precluded.


Design
======

- New multicast tunnel message type (delivery type = 0x03)
- Outbound endpoint multicast distribute
- New I2NP Multicast Message type ?
- New I2CP Multicast SendMessageMessage Message type
- Don't encrypt router-router in OutNetMessageOneShotJob (garlic?)

App:

- RTSP Proxy?

Streamr:

- Tune MTU? Or just do it at the app?
- On-demand receive & transmit
