A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Protocol Independent Multicast Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Security Issues in PIM-SM Link-local Messages
	Author(s)	: J. Atwood, S. Islam

RFC 4601 mandates the use of IPsec to ensure authentication of the
   link-local messages in the Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse
   Mode (PIM-SM) routing protocol.  This document specifies mechanisms
   to authenticate the PIM-SM link local messages using the IP security
   (IPsec) Authentication Header (AH) or Encapsulating Security Payload
   (ESP).  It specifies optional mechanisms to provide confidentiality
   using the ESP.  Manual keying is specified as the mandatory and
   default group key management solution.  To deal with issues of
   scalability and security that exist with manual keying, an optional
   automated group key management mechanism is specified.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
