Remove all zero MAC address entries (00:00:00:00:00:00) from a multicast packet's tracker TVLV before transmitting it and update all headers accordingly. This way, instead of keeping the multicast packet at a constant size throughout its journey through the mesh, it will become more lightweight, smaller with every interested receiver on the way and on each splitting intersection. Which can save some valuable bandwidth.
