GRASP is doing application layer multicast. That's why we have those session-IDs, and the checking and the caching, etc. It's news to me that the ACP will emulate layer-2 multicast! I expected GRASP to send a copy on each interface (you do that now!), and the ACP will present each link in the VRF as an interface. If you want multicast support in the ACP, would you like: 1) PIM? (dense or sparse) 2) MPL? 3) something totally bleeding edge (but very cool) like BIER? -- Michael Richardson <[email protected]>, Sandelman Software Works -= IPv6 IoT consulting =-
