I wonder why you are saying this.

Generally, where information needs to be disseminated to a group, there is an end-to-end argument giving the application a big role in that.  Supporting this directly in the network can only really be motivated by performance considerations(*); do you think this function here is performance-critical?

(*) or where the topology defines the group, but I don’t think this is the case here.
