Abstract

A computer-implemented method includes receiving a request to multicast a message, wherein the request includes the message and a restriction bundle. The computer-implemented method further includes generating a distribution list for a first set of devices in a plurality of registered devices based, at least in part, on an overlap between a registered range of a device and a multicast range included in the restriction bundle. The computer-implemented method further includes determining a first subset of devices from the first set of devices based, at least in part, on a set of registered property values associated with each device meeting the criteria of each restriction in the restriction bundle. The computer-implemented method further includes multicasting the message to the first subset of devices. A corresponding computer system and computer program product are also disclosed.
