Abstract
A first receiver device receives, from a sender device in a unicast communication, a data flow including a multicast identifier, the multicast identifier indicating that the data flow is to reach multiple receiver devices. The first receiver device determines that the data flow is to reach multiple receiver devices in response to detecting the multicast identifier. The first receiver device sends, to a second receiver device in a unicast communication, the data flow including the multicast identifier.
