[IPv6] Review feedback requested: draft-ietf-pim-rfc1112bis

[Toerless Eckert <[e-mail]>]

Dear IPv6 colleagues

I would hereby like to ask you to provide review feedback for subject draft (rfc1112bis) which is in PIM-WG.

RFC1112 is the original spec from 1989 for the extension to IP for the IP Multicast Host Stack,
including the IGMP protocol.

We never wrote such a spec for IPv6. Instead a couple of on-the-wire pieces for IPv6
where brought in via other RFCs. So i've often run across customers asking how to do IP multicast
with IP6, and the answer was "read rfc1112 and thinkit said IPv4 instead of IP".

This draft now attempts to close the gap by making the text apply to both IPv4 and IPv6.
The textual changes relating to IPv6 are hopefully quite small, but i woud appreciate
a lot if some IPv6 experts would check them out:

https://author-tools.ietf.org/diff?doc_1=rfc1112&doc_2=draft-ietf-pim-rfc1112bis-00

look for IPv6. Feedback ideally to [e-mail], unless you think [e-mail] is better suited.

There are two other reasons for this draft, one is to retire/remove the obsolete IPv4 IGMPv1
protocol (rfc1112 being full internet standard making that obsolete protocol also full standard...),
the other was to add the ASM/SSM terminology and add references to the respective
RFCs for that (which of course applies to IPv6 as much as IPv4).

Thanks a lot!
