multi-cast is not used in the delivery of IPTV. multi-cast uses UDP with is not route-able in the conventional way that internet traffic is. IPTV uses hls which is Hypertext Live Stream so it's a web protocol.
IPTV uses multicast in operator controlled networks.
In short: if you own network hardware, you can send multicast through it.
IPTV OTT (over the top) uses TCP protocols, for example HLS, HTTP MPEG-TS or DASH.
There are manybreadons for buffering. It can be your ISP throttling you, a crapy provider. Your iptv player or even your device.
You really need to test each out.
