This document describes Overlay Multicast Control Protocol (OMCP)
used for realizing and managing Overlay Multicast, as also known as
Application Layer Multicast. Overlay Multicast is a data delivery
scheme for multicast applications, in which one or more intermediate
relay agents are employed for relaying application data from a sender
to many receivers along a pre-configured or automatically configured
tree hierarchy. In OMCP, a special- purpose entity, called Session
Manager, is used to manage and control the  tree configuration and
session monitoring. OMCP is designed to ensure that the multicast
applications and services can be provided over current Internet
environments in which IP multicast has not completely been deployed.

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.
