This document defines a new option to the Multicast Address Dynamic
Client Allocation Protocol (MADCAP) to support nested scoping. The
new option's purpose is to allow clients to learn which scopes nest
inside each other, and hence it may be used for expanding scope
searches or hierarchical multicast transport.

This document is a product of the Multicast-Address Allocation Working
Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
