	Title		: Reliable Multicast Transport Building Block: Tree Auto-Configuration

The Reliable Multicast Transport (RMT) Working Group has been 
chartered to standardize reliable multicast transport services and 
protocol instantiations, which include the tree-based ACK (TRACK) 
protocol. This document is concerned with defining the building 
block for auto-configuration of the logical ACK-tree. According to 
the charter, a building block is 'a coarse-grained modular 
component that is common to multiple protocols along with abstract 
APIs that define a building block's access methods and their 
arguments.' The TRACK BB mechanisms [5] will operate on the logical 
ACK-tree that is configured by this TREE BB in the TRACK PI 
sessions. This document is made based on the guidelines for the RMT 
BB [2] and the recommendations for TREE BB [4].

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
