Sorry, I forgot to copy the actual announcement.  (I know we all got the
announcement, but I know that I tend to delete ones that I conclude are
not important to me.)
It is below.

Also, my apologies if the tone of my note seems too extreme.  This is one
of the few "info" announcements that has really gotten to me.

Yours,
Joel M. Halpern

       Title     : Introduction to IP Multicast Routing                    
       Author(s) : C. Semeria, T. Maufer
       Filename  : draft-rfced-info-semeria-00.txt
       Pages     : 55
       Date      : 03/26/1996

The first part of this paper describes the benefits of multicasting, 
the MBONE, Class D addressing, and the operation of the Internet Group 
Management Protocol (IGMP).  The second section explores a number of 
different algorithms that may potentially be employed by multicast 
routing protocols:  
                                                               
 - Flooding 
 - Spanning Trees 
 - Reverse Path Broadcasting (RPB) 
 - Truncated Reverse Path Broadcasting (TRPB) 
 - Reverse Path Multicasting (RPM) 
 - Core Based Trees  
                                                              
The third part contains the main body of the paper.  It describes how the 
previous algorithms are implemented in multicast routing protocols 
available today.           
                                                
 - Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP)  
 - Multicast OSPF (MOSPF)  
 - Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM)
