- In IEEE 802 standard, in the address field there is a bit called
- group/individual bit, that is intended to be used for multicast (send a
- message to some type of servers for instance).
-
- I would like to know what applications use this facility, and at what
- level the bit is set (who sets it)
-
- I will appreciate any information
