Hi,
please forward this if there are other parties or WGs that might have valuable
knowledge in this.
1.5 years ago there was an email list created to discuss the issue of L1/L2
multicast packets having different delivery characteristics compared to
unicast, on 802.11 and potentially other places.
http://www.ieee802.org/11/email/stds-802-11/msg01838.html
If you're interested in discussion on possible solution space for this, please
consider subscribing. Possible outcomes is that IETF will re-design protocols
to do less multicast, and/or new mechanisms would be proposed to make 802.11
(and other similar technologies) handle multicast better.
There was a side meeting today with 10 people where this was discussed, and
we're trying to restart this discussion, as it has been kind of stale the past
year.
