A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 2909 Title: The Multicast Address-Set Claim (MASC) Protocol Author(s): P. Radoslavov, D. Estrin, R. Govindan, M. Handley, S. Kumar, D. Thaler Status: Experimental Date: September 2000 Mailbox: pavlin@catarina.usc.edu, estrin@isi.edu, govindan@isi.edu, mjh@aciri.org, kkumar@usc.edu, dthaler@microsoft.com Pages: 56 Characters: 127278 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-malloc-masc-06.txt URL: ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2909.txt This document describes the Multicast Address-Set Claim (MASC) protocol which can be used for inter-domain multicast address set allocation. MASC is used by a node (typically a router) to claim and allocate one or more address prefixes to that node's domain. While a domain does not necessarily need to allocate an address set for hosts in that domain to be able to allocate group addresses, allocating an address set to the domain does ensure that inter-domain group-specific distribution trees will be locally-rooted, and that traffic will be sent outside the domain only when and where external receivers exist. This document is a product of the Multicast-Address Allocation Working Group of the IETF. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list. Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@IETF.ORG. Requests to be added to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should be sent to RFC-DIST-REQUEST@RFC-EDITOR.ORG. Details on obtaining RFCs via FTP or EMAIL may be obtained by sending an EMAIL message to rfc-info@RFC-EDITOR.ORG with the message body help: ways_to_get_rfcs. For example: To: rfc-info@RFC-EDITOR.ORG Subject: getting rfcs help: ways_to_get_rfcs Requests for special distribution should be addressed to either the author of the RFC in question, or to RFC-Manager@RFC-EDITOR.ORG.
