Hi all,

I was looking at the RFC 3307 and after reading section 4, I had the following questions:

1. Permanent mcast addresses use Group Ids 0x00000001 to 0x3FFFFFFF . Does this mean this range of group IDS is reserved and cannot be used with non permanent addresses??

2. Also can the group ID range 0x40000000 to 0x7FFFFFFF be used by customers for their content channels??

Thanks
Kunal
