[c-nsp] SSO on 65 support mcast?

[Tim Stevenson]

Multicast is supported for SSO in 18SXD and later. It is a "single 
box" solution - NOT like NSF for unicast. There are no triggered PIM 
joins or other interbox facilities associated with it. Also, there is 
a "hold time" after the switchover where any new multicast streams 
will be switched by software not hardware (existing streams continue 
getting h/w switching, and host joins/leaves are still processed via 
igmp snooping).

The feature name is "MMLS NSF/SSO". Don't let the "NSF" part fool you 
though, per the above.
