This document specifies the extensions to the Access Node Control
Protocol (ANCP) (RFC 6320) required for support of the multicast use
cases defined in the Access Node Control Protocol framework document
(RFC 5851) and one additional use case described in this document.
These use cases are organized into the following ANCP capabilities:

o  multicast replication initiated by the Network Access Server
   (NAS);

o  conditional access and admission control with white and black
   lists;

o  conditional access and admission control with grey lists;

o  bandwidth delegation; and

o  committed bandwidth reporting.

These capabilities may be combined according to the rules given in
this specification.

This document updates RFC 6320 by assigning capability type 3 to a
capability specified in this document and by changing the starting
point for IANA allocation of result codes determined by IETF
Consensus from 0x100 to 0x64.

This document is a product of the Access Node Control Protocol Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Internet
Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and
