All things related to multicast

[Michael H Lambert <>]

A point which has never been completely clear to me (since I admit to
having thought about multicast as little as possible the past decade) is
whether the multicast SAFI is still needed when doing SSM.  RFC 8815
doesn't mention this, but RFC 8313 (BCP for SSM) suggests it may still
be needed.  I had thought it was just used for ASM RPF checking, but I
could be mistaken.
