Stage 4: Subscribing all IPv6 multicast group addresses in a PAN on CGR.
Nodes send DAO message directly to CGR. The multicast group information with multicast group addresses and MPL domain
will be inserted into one DAO option. CGR will add the multicast group entry for WPAN interface, so that CGR can forward
multicast data message from application server to nodes.
Stage 5: Sending multicast message from application server to nodes.
When application server sends a multicast message to nodes, if MPL is enabled on CGR, CGR inserts the MPL domain address
(for example, FF03::FC) into original multicast message as shown in the following figure. Then CGR forwards the MPL message
to WPAN interface. If node joins in the destination group address, it will receive the message and handle in the upper layer of
nodes. If node does not join in the destination group address, it will forward this MPL message because all nodes join in the
same MPL domain.
Draft comment: add the multicast group scope for this feature
The overall process of application server management can be divided into the following stages:
Figure 7: Application Server Management Process
Stage 1: Optionally subscribing IPv6 multicast group address from application server.
After a node joins in the network, the application layer of node can subscribe the multicast group addresses from application
server shown in above figure.
