24.2.3.1 Centralized Multicast

CtrMcast is inherits from McastProtocol. One CtrMcast agent needs to be created for each node. There is a central CtrMcastComp agent to compute and install multicast routes for the entire topology. Each CtrMcast agent processes membership dynamic commands, and redirects the CtrMcastComp agent to recompute the appropriate routes.

CtrMcastComp is the centralised multicast route computation agent.
