#94: Why does DRO travel by multicast.

Resolution:
--------------
 Because we want the stop flag in DRO to reach as many nodes as  possible.

Discussion:
---------------

 p14 :  A DRO message travels from the target to the origin via link-local  multicast along the
   route specified inside the Address vector in the P2P-RDO.

 [Cedric]
 Why using multicast if you know every destinators ?
 Could we unicast packets to each destinators in the address vector ?

 [Mukul]
 DRO travels by link local multicast so that the nodes, that are on the  temporary DAG but not necessarily on a discovered route, may know that the  route discovery is over (via the stop flag) and there is no need to  generate any more DIOs. This may lead to a significant reduction in the
 (unnecessary) DIOs generated. Only the routers on the discovered route do  the multicast-based forwarding though.

[Cedric2]
Makes sense, thank's for clarification.
