2.13.6 Message Ordering

If two processes multicast to a group, the messages may be arbitrarily ordered at any member of the group.

Process P1 multicasts message a to a group comprising processes P1, P2, P3 and P4.

Process P2 multicasts message b to the same group

The order of arrival of a and b at members of the group can be different.
