This document describes an extension to the Node Switch Protocol (NSP) of MAPOS. NSP is a protocol for automatically assigning addresses to MAPOS network interfaces of nodes. The extension NSP+ enables the nodes to provide their directly connected switches with information about the multicast groups to which the MAPOS network interfaces of the nodes belong, so a switch forwards only required multicast frames to the network interfaces.}, }
