 A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
 directories. This draft is a work item of the MBONE Deployment Working 
 Group of the IETF.                                                        

       Title     : Some Issues for an Inter-domain 
                   Multicast Routing Protocol

The IETF's Inter-Domain Multicast Routing (IDMR) working group has produced
several multicast routing protocols, including Core Based Trees [CBT] and 
Protocol Independent Multicasting [PIMARCH]. In addition, the IDMR WG has 
formalized the specification of the Distance Vector Multicast Routing 
Protocol [DVMRP]. Various specifications for protocol inter-operation have 
also been produced (see, for example, [THALER96] and [PIMMBR]). However, 
none of these protocols seems ideally suited to the inter-domain routing 
case; that is, while these protocols are appropriate for the intra-domain 
routing environment, they break down in various ways when applied in to the
multi-provider inter-domain case.                   

This document considers some of the scaling, stability and policy issues 
that are of primary importance in a inter-domain, multi-provider 
multicast environment.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mboned-imrp-some-issues-02.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
							
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
