The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Multicast Addresses for Documentation' (draft-ietf-mboned-mcaddrdoc-04.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the MBONE Deployment Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ronald Bonica and Benoit Claise. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mboned-mcaddrdoc/ It is often useful in documentation, IETF documents, etc., to provide examples containing IP multicast addresses. For documentation where examples of general purpose multicast addresses are needed, one should use multicast addresses that never will be assigned or in actual use. There is a risk that addresses used in examples may accidentally be used. It is then important that the same addresses are not used by other multicast applications or services. It may also be beneficial to filter out such addresses from multicast signalling and multicast data sent to such addresses. For unicast there are both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses reserved for this purpose, see [RFC5737] and [RFC3849] respectively. This document reserves multicast addresses for this purpose. There are also some multicast addresses that are derived from AS numbers or unicast addresses. For examples where such addresses are desired, one should derive them from the AS numbers and unicast addresses reserved for documentation purposes. This document also discusses the use of these. Working Group Summary This draft has received solid support within the working group and no major controversies were noted. Document Quality This document has received several comments from reviewers and the authors addressed each of these comments. Personnel Lenny Giuliano is the Document Shepherd. Ron Bonica is the Responsible Area Director. RFC Editor Note - Please remove unused reference to RFC 3307
