multicast and network dynamics

[Guillermo Rigotti <grigotti@exa.unicen.edu.ar>]

Hi,

When a cache-miss occurs, a multicast protocol is informed (upcall) and
adds a new replicator if appropiate:  Node instproc add-mfc { src group
iif oiflist }
where oiflist is a list of networkinterface objects.

In the case of a dynamic link, a DynamicLink object is added as the
head_ of the link, and multicast packets skip it (are passed to
networkinterface object).Because of it, multicast packets pass through
the link, no matter its state (status_).

Does it correct to call add-mfc with an oiflist composed of DynamicLink
objects?

Thanks,

Guillermo Rigotti
