1. Defining message formats
2. Stream Decoding after receiving the message at PIM
3. Handling MLAG UP & Down Notifications

when ever a FRR Client wants to send any data to another node
using MLAG Channel, uses below mechanisam.
1. sends a MLAG Registration to zebra with interested messages that
it is intended to receive from peer.
2. In response to this request, Zebra opens communication channel with
MLAG. and also in Rx. diretion zebra forwards only those messages which
client shown interest during registration
3. when client is no-longer interested in communicating with MLAG, client
posts De-register to Zebra
4. if this is the last client which is interested for MLAG Communication,
zebra closes the channel.
why PIM Needs MLAG Communication
================================
1. In general on LAN Networks elecetd DR will send the Join towards
Multicast RP in case of a LHR and Register in case of FHR.
2. But in case DR Goes down, traffic will be re-converged only after
the New DR is elected, but this can take time based on Hold Timer to
detect the DR down.
3. this can be optimised by using MLAG Mecganisam.
4. and also Traffic can be forwarded more efficiently by knowing the cost
towards RP using MLAG
