Nice job, Bill. I especially liked the Website explanation, with pictures yet!

My one questions is does this actually raise the cost of equipment to set up an AG node by $4000, or is other equipment no longer necessary if you use the new Cisco router?

This equipment is a per-site cost if the current networking infrastructure at the site cannot support multicast. It doesn't replace any of the other equipment. With an agreeable network staff who already has the appropriate flavor of Cisco router, such a tunnel could likely be set up to existing equipment. However, with such a staff and equipment I suspect that proper multicast might be doable anyway. --bob
