This is fine, each group will have unique MLID though they have same characteristics, I am trying to know is,<br>
as in unicast LID assignment there is a file maintained by SM, so for
MLID is there any such mapping file or this is maintained in some
internal structure, or every create request with new MGID will be given
One higher MLID from MLID assigned to previous create request and as
the switchInfo::MulticastFDBCap is reached, create request will fail?<br>
