Ensuirng that every node sees a multicast packet
is certainly beyond the scope of RPR.
Just like in switched ethernet, there are no garauntees
made for delivering a multicast packet to EVERY node.
Due to congestion, it could be dropped at some intermediate
switch.

Subject: RPR multicast issue
Hi All,
I have a question regarding multicast packet transfer over RPR.
How to make sure that all the related node on a RPR receive
the multicast packet without dropping it due to lack of space
in its receiving buffer ? Or it it beyond the scope of the RPR
MAC definition ?
Actually this question applies to the unicast case too.
Thanks.
