Subject: Sending Multicast General QUERY with unicast dest MAC

Hi All,

I am not getting much information from RCF about MAC addresses, apart
from 23 bits of the group IP address to be part of 3 octets of MAC.

So, can you please give some input on this. Does it make sense to send
an explicit general QUERY with dest MAC as unicast - to any wifi
station on connect?

Thanks,
UjjaL Roy
