Two Multicast for IPv6 Transition Demonstrations are taking place this week in the terminal room (4F VIP room) from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm.  On Friday, of course, the demonstration will end at 1:00 pm when the meeting closes.

Transition from IPv6 to IPv4 must support key multicast applications such as IPTV.  As different carriers and cable operators (MSOs) attempt to transition multicast applications like IPTV from IPv4 to IPv6, the efforts run into common problems.  As wisdom emerges from these early attempts, IP experts from vendors and carriers wish to save this wisdom in a set of IETF Best Common Practice (BCP) RFCs. In order to hasten this work, the experts have requested a Working Group (WG) called Multrans be formed in the operations area. 

Since the IETF strongly encourages that multiple vendors and multiple carriers be involved in developing the Best Common Practice (BCP) RFC based on real-world experience, to hasten this work, two operators has worked with two vendors to develop demonstration code that can perform IPv4 to IPv6 transition for multicast.
