Hi All,
Should loop back be enabled on Multicast routers. If so, when we send
out a multicast packet, should it be looped back via the loop-back
interface. If it is looped back, then looping back forwarded datagrams
can cause problems, so at what level should the looped back packet be
discarded or how else can it be handled.

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Vijay
