/**
 * @brief Mcast Adjacency
 *
 * The multicast adjacency forwards IP traffic on an interface toward a multicast
 * group address. This is a different type of adjacency to a unicast adjacency
 * since the application of the MAC header is different, and so the VLIB node
 * visited is also different. DPO types have different VLIB nodes.
