Dear SIP experts,

I have a question regarding the support of multicast within SIP:

How is it possible to establish a connection towards a group of different
users in parallel? 

Is it possible to send a SIP INVITE/MESSAGE message to a multicast address,
in such a way that members of this multicast group can receive them in
parallel?

Best regards
