24.2.2.0.1 Class Node

Node support for multicast is realized in two primary ways: it serves as a focal point for access to the multicast protocols, in the areas of address allocation, control and management, and group membership dynamics; and secondly, it provides primitives to access and control interfaces on links incident on that node.

The list of primitives accessible at the node to control its interfaces are listed below.
