mutlicast #26

Open mglt opened 5 years ago

  1. Section 5.5. SEC-GEN-13. There are different mechanisms that exist for multicasting tenant traffic. For example, implementations my use multiple unicast tunnels to achieve this objective. So mandating MUST requirement for specific multicast mechanism is not necessary. An operator may decide based on their environment as to what multicast mechanism is applicable to the deployment. Hence MUST requirement should be removed.

As I understand the comments exposes how to replace multicast communications with unicast. If such deployment is achieved, SEC_GEN-13 is not applicable as SEC-GEN-13 is for multicast communications. I guess this addresses the concern.
