   Title:   Group Address Allocation Protocol (GAAP)

Abstract:

   This document describes a design for a lightweight decentralized
   multicast group address allocation protocol (named GAAP and
   pronounced "gap" as in "mind the gap").  The protocol requires no
   configuration setup and no centralized services.  The protocol runs
   among group participants which need a unique group address to send
   and receive multicast packets.  Tailored for IPv4 and IPv6 networks,
   this design offers a simple, lightweight option rather than extending
   an existing protocol.
