Hi,

I came across this https://superuser.com/questions/730288/why-do-some-wifi-routers-block-multicast-packets-going-from-wired-to-wireless. It listed some issues, at least one (about encryption) of which is not discussed in this draft.

That topic is a bit old (from 2014), not sure if the list issues not discussed in this draft are no longer present, or if they are worthy discussion in this draft?

I am also curious, in a home environment, if only one receiver joins a particular multicast flow (e.g. one viewer for a multicast TV channel), how much trouble would a typical consumer router run into if we turn on multicast?

Thanks.
Jeffrey
