// A router with multicast routing capabilities that can forward multicast traffic between
// different network segments.
//
// Multicast routing allows efficient delivery of data to multiple recipients by sending
// packets only once over each link, creating copies only when paths to destinations split.
// This router has Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) enabled by default and multicast
// forwarding activated.
