[ANCP] Multicast Sub-Capability Definition
I would suggest that the multicast sub-capabilities be defined in terms of
independent sets of messages and TLVs supported. Once we have done that, we can
describe their relationships.
I suggest the following sub-capabilities:
a) NAS-controlled replication
Implies support of the Multicast Replication Control message
b) NAS-controlled admission
Implies support of the Multicast Admission Control message
c) Bandwidth delegation
Indication of this sub-capability means that the indicating device supports the
following messages and TLVs:
Messages:
Bandwidth Reallocation Request
Bandwidth Transfer
Delegated Bandwidth Query
TLVs:
Bandwidth-Delegation-Control
Bandwidth-Allocation
Bandwidth-Request
Bandwidth-Status
d) Shared admission
Implies support of the Multicast-Service-Profile-Name and
Multicast-Service-Profile TLVs.
I believe a), b) and c) can be implemented independently of each other. d)
requires b) as a prerequisite.
We can discuss whether support of multicast automatically implies support of the
Multicast Flow Query message and Multicast-Flow TLV, or whether this is
another sub-capability, independent of the other four.
