.... By the way, I worked on an  application using IPv4 multicast that
worked nicely as defined below.  My previous company did the original
IP-enabling for NASDAQ.   There were tiers of service that mapped to IPv4
multicast groups.
Of course with the topological nature of IPv4, this was a much simpler
problem (plus not having an LLN in the middle).

The key feature was the ability to opt-in/opt-out of the multicast groups
and the ability for the network to route traffic appropriately depending
on membership of the multicast group.  Hopefully we can come up with
something similar.....
