The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'MADCAP Multicast Scope Nesting State Option' <draft-ietf-malloc-madcap-nest-opt-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document is the product of the Multicast-Address Allocation Working Group. The IESG contact person is Thomas Narten. Technical Summary 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 may be used for expanding scope searches or hierarchical multicast transport. Working Group Summary There was consensus in the WG for this option and no issues were raised during the Last Call. Protocol Quality This protocol has been reviewed for the IESG by Thomas Narten and Vern Paxson.
