This is long overdue followup for multicast from the interim meeting. We plan to issue an updated draft shortly in which we will change the title and name of the draft so that it reflects that it will cover a discussion of both infrastructure (ARP/ND, mDNS, DHCP, etc.) and application-level multicast per comments during the call.
There was a comment by David Black about optimizing the number of multicast groups required in the underlay which I believe is already covered by the following text in the draft: >>> There are additional optimizations which are possible, but they come with their own restrictions. For example, a set of tenants may be restricted to some subset of NVEs and they could all share the same outer IP multicast group address. This however introduces a problem of sub-optimal delivery (even if a particular tenant within the group of tenants doesn't have a presence on one of the NVEs which another one does, the former's multicast packets would still be delivered to that NVE). >>> If folks have any other comments/concerns, please let us know. Thanks, Anoop
