It seems a very relevant question.<br><br>The way collaboration over salut works now (I ask the experts to confirm that), every application will demand a multicast mac address. And four are already taken (01:00:5e:00:00:fb, 01:00:5e:00:00:01, 33:33:00:00:00:01 and 33:33:ff:<1>:<2>:<3>, where <1>..<3> are the last three bytes of the XO's mac addr). I am assuming this has to be subtracted from the total of 8. So, this would pose a limit of 4 shared applications for a given XO over a simple mesh.<br>
<br>Assuming this is correct, than some questions follow.<br>- Is 4 a reasonable limit (is the XO capable of more in terms of processing and memory?)<br>- Is this a hard limit? How hard is to increase this number and what is the compromise?<br>

Ashish comments on #6869: Firmware release - 5.110.22.p9 as follows:<br>
<br>
Currently firmware 5.110.22.p8/9 does not support more than 8 multicast<br>
mac addresses. Is there a possibility that any given point of time there<br>
are more than 8 multicast address required?<br>
<br>
Is this going to be a problem for anyone?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
