Technical Summary

   This document defines a mechanism to send and receive information 
   for multiple IP multicast flows in a single PackedAssert message. 
   This optimization reduces the total number of PIM packets on the 
   LAN and can therefore speed up the election of the single forwarder, 
   reducing the number of duplicate IP multicast packets incurred.

Working Group Summary

   The WG process was straightforward.

Document Quality

   No implementations exist, but several vendors have expressed their interest.
