This memo also obsoletes and reclassifies to Historic a number
of older multicast protocols.

* Working Group Summary

There was not any controversy about this document. There are
not many comments on the ML but none of the comments are negative.

* Protocol Quality

This document surveys the currently proposed/used protocols but
it does not propose any new protocol.
