I think that's our choice to make. Please see:

https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/anima/-vOvFVQr6zcognXJxwKKB9_t5-Q

GRASP discovery and flood, by their nature, must be received by all
GRASP neighbours. How it happens isn't actually very important - if
there was such a thing as secure link-local multicast, we'd use it.
But if not, *somebody* is going to replicate the packets. If the VRF
doesn't do it, GRASP itself will have to do it. That doesn't seem optimal
to me.

I would like the ACP VRF to emulate link-local multicast to all nodes
listed in the adjacency table as neighbours on the same physical interface.
If it doesn't, then GRASP will.

IMHO we need a precise statement of the service the ACP will provide
at the API it presents to GRASP. That can't be left as an implementation
detail.
