[ntp:questions] multicast - wrong interface

[mills at udel.edu]

Martin,

The original intent for network interface selection with DVMRP and IGMP 
was to broadcast on the local net(s) and encapsulate the packet to the 
next gateway on the reverse-path-forward spanning tree. Thus, the 
selection of exit interface was determined by the protocol. Only in the 
cast where the spanning tre was rooted at the sender could more than one 
interface be used. I suspect that paradigm perished with the demise of 
the MBONE.
