I interpreted the author's discussion of "physical multicasting" to mean multicast routing. Multicast routing can be turned on and off individual interfaces. Moreoever, when you get to the discussion on CCO about optimizing multicast routing, there is this section: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios11/c book/ciproute.htm#xtocid16743149 I agree the wording could be better. As far as disabling multicast from an interface, my gut reaction would be, why would you want to?
