Multicast was also required for earlier versions of VXLAN. But later versions or VXLAN only require unicast. For the far future it seems like Named Data Neworking, Content Centric Networking, Information Centric Networking, Data Centric Networking etc all list multicast as a requirement or fundamental part of their architecture.

One enterprise networking may have critical internal applications that depend on multicast to work and others may have nothing but the basic requirements of the network itself (e.g. IPv6 uses multicast instead of broadcast for some network control information distribution).

From discussion, it was pointed out uses of multicast is more with in enterprise. Wanted to understand how much % multicast traffic present in network * If there is any data which can provide what % of traffic is multicast traffic. And if multicast is removed, how much unicast trafficitwould add up? * Since this forum has people from deployment area, I would love to know if there is real deployment problems or its pain to deploymulticast.These questions is to work / discussion in IETF to see what is painpointsfor multicast, and how can we simplify it. Thanks Mankamana
