Re: [netext] #5: Logical interface support: Multicast traffic

[Sri Gundavelli <[e-mail]>]

We have captured this under ND. Its a valid point, that ND is just one
sub-case of multicast usage. We should have sub section specific to
multicast and we can present this in a generic way. That's fine, we will
write up some text for this and resolve it.
