Is it possible to specify multi-point links in FILE_SPECIFIED.
For example. controller 1 connects to Controller 2,3,4, throught link 1 and any packet in in link 1 triggers events on controllers. 2,3,4.

I can fake the functionality by connecting
Controller 1 to internal switch-1 and then linking Controller-2,3,4 to switch-1.

If I add to the destination field of a message. Would that generate different messages or one message on the common links.

c1---------Int-switch 1 ----------c2
                 |-------------------------c3
                 |-----------------------------c4

If C1 intends to send a message to c2,c3 and c4. If c1 encodes one message with destination field set to c2,c3.c4. What happens to that message ?
one message upto int-switch 1 and then splits into multiple messages ?
or 3 messages from c1.
