Zusammenfassung:	A network device may intercept, from an application associated with a user space of the network device, a request message to join a multicast group or to leave the multicast group. The request message may be addressed to a kernel of the network device. The network device may direct the request message to a service daemon associated with the user space of the network device. The network device may determine, using the service daemon, whether another application associated with the user space is a member of the multicast group. The network device may selectively generate, using the service daemon and based on whether the other application associated with the user space is the member of the multicast group, an advertisement message based on the request message, and transmit the advertisement message when the advertisement message is generated.
