So this is certainly not an official statement of any sort, but I would
not expect to see OpenFlow 1.1 support in NOX for a while.  I believe
there's some consensus that supporting both 1.0 and 1.1 well will
require some nontrivial API changes (and we're due for some API changes
anyway), and there will be a focus on getting some of that right rather
than incrementally updating NOX as has been done for previous OpenFlow
versions.

And before we even have 1.1 compatibility, I really would not hazard a
guess about what we'd be releasing supporting multicast.  Sorry!

Hopefully we'll have more of an idea about this in the coming months, as
well as more actual OpenFlow 1.1 implementations.

(Also, as far as my limited understanding goes, OpenFlow 1.1 is still
not final...)
