The IESG has received a request from the Protocols for IP Multicast WG (pim) to consider the following document: 'Zero-Configuration Assignment of IPv6 Multicast Addresses Using mDNS' <draft-ietf-pim-ipv6-zeroconf-assignment-12.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision on this document in the coming weeks, and solicits last-call comments. Please send substantive comments to the last-call@ietf.org mailing list, with pim@ietf.org copied, no later than 2026-10-06. Please retain the beginning of the Subject line to facilitate automated sorting. Abstract This document describes a zero-configuration protocol for dynamically assigning IPv6 multicast addresses that are unique at the link-layer. Applications randomly assign multicast group IDs from a specified range and prevent collisions by using Multicast DNS (mDNS) to publish resource records under a new "eth-addr.arpa" domain. This protocol satisfies all of the criteria listed in RFC 10019. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pim-ipv6-zeroconf-assignment/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
