B. The MAC layer does not provide a means for identifying multicast traffic
C. There are insufficient bits available in the multicast MAC address to provide for a one to one relationship to a multicast IP address
D. There are insufficient bits available in the multicast IP address to provide for a one to one relationship to a multicast MAC address
