Internet-Draft draft-ietf-pim-gaap-18.txt is now available. It is a work item
of the Protocols for IP Multicast (PIM) WG of the IETF.
Title: Group Address Allocation Protocol (GAAP)
Authors: Dino Farinacci
Mike McBride
Name: draft-ietf-pim-gaap-18.txt
Pages: 26
Dates: 2026-07-03
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.
