Hi,

(Well, I developed and opened IGMPv3/MLDv2/LW-IGMPv3/LW-MLDv2 BSD kernel implementations more than 10y ago, but) I don't have deployment experiences. Yet I'm willing to contribute to this work.

As with the discussion in the previous meetings, I believe Lightweight IGMPv3/MLDv2 (RFC5790) will be the base specification for IGMPv3/MLDv2 on DS. It may be a positive situation that RFC5790 also provide a simple way to escape from the backward compatibility problem.
I expect that the explicit tracking function, which is currently stacked (sorry about that), will be also included as one of the core function.

Note that RFC5790 eliminates the EXCLUDE (S,G) mode operation while it gives the interoperability with that operation (by translating to the EXCLUDE (*,G) operation). At this point, we should discuss whether IGMPv3/MLDv2 on DS will eliminates the EXCLUDE (S,G) mode operation as RFC5790 does or keeps it as the "option" so that it won't be completely deprecated from the protocol. (I personally prefer its elimination, though).

Regards,

Hitoshi
