#109: trickle-mcast: should all MPL packets be destined to all-MPL-forwarders


Comment (by esko.dijk@philips.com):

 Using an address FF0x::ALL_MPL_FORWARDERS as default (to avoid
 configuration) seems a good idea. In my understanding, it is good to make
 this address configurable, which allows some advanced (future?)
 uses:

 1. running multiple MPL domains 'in parallel' (differentiating based on
 mcast address, where MPL forwarders are always encapsulating packets)

 2. using unicast-prefix-based multicast address as the MPL-forwarder
 multicast address. This was proposed on the list at some point as a fine-
 grained hierarchical way to control propagation of MPL packets through an
 MPL domain. (See message http://www.ietf.org/mail-
 archive/web/roll/current/msg07392.html and related ones in the thread)
