   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 base allocation protocol
   requires no centralized service and minimal configuration, although
   deployments using encryption or administrative scoping may require
   configuration.  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.
