Also can the group ID range 0x40000000 to 0x7FFFFFFF be used by > customers for their content channels?? That range is intended for use with IPv6 multicast addresses derived using RFC 3306. You should note that the IANA considerations state that group IDs in this range are allocated based on Expert Review. So, if the customer is sourcing well-known application data, then it may make sense to use this range. Regards, Brian
