The clients will be using their own bandwidth, the main question in my
mind is how to provision the service.

Looking at:

Which should handle the IGMP snooping to 'connect' each remote request to
the multicast output, .. but I do not have clear in my mind how to
provision the box - i.e. is a public multi-cast IP required?
