Description

Currently there exists a master/slave paradigm. If the NCM has to orchestrate the flow across many, perhaps geographically dispersed, nodes, we don't want to replicate every request to many nodes. It would be better to send a single request from a "higher-level NCM" to several "lower-level NCMs" and have the lower-level NCM's replicate to the nodes.
