This is a work we are doing in Dragonflow and is relatively simple to implement leveraging Dragonflow current infrastructure and reactive local controller.
This will significantly reduce duplicating packets for IGMP aware VMs. and hence reduce multicast load. We would love to help and bring this API to Neutron core, anyone that is interested is welcome to check the spec Omer published. feel free to join us in our next IRC channel where we would talk about this design.
