Under what circumstances are multicast addresses used? Is it for Network Entity traffic only, or can multicast addresses be used as SNPA addresses? The advantage of using multicast addresses as SNPA addresses being that configuration changes would not be required whenever a network card is replaced in an ES or IS. A possible problem however, if multiple ISs exist on the one LAN, which IS does the routing? If this is simply an implementation issue, does anyone have any thoughts of pros and cons of whether or not to use multicast addresses this way?
