[Roll] Seed Set use across MPL Domains (was: Re: I-D Action: draft-ietf-roll-trickle-mcast-03.txt)

Thanks Jonathan and Richard for this major update to the draft. The option to allow multiple MPL Domains to co-exist is a very useful addition. On this topic some questions / remarks:

1. adding "Seed Identifier" to the section 2 Terminology could help to clarify that a single MPL Forwarder/Seed has a single Seed Identifier. This SeedID remains identical across multiple MPL Domains it participates in, right?

2. I think for the text to be correct (sections 4.3, 6.2. 6.3, 7.3, 10.3, 11.X e.g. - any text where Seed Set is used in fact) there needs to be a separate Seed Set per MPL Domain a Forwarder participates in. Is this the solution? Peter already remarked the problem for sections 4.1/11.3.

Note that the Buffered Message Set already contains information on MPL Domain, somewhat hidden in the 'DataMessage' object in the tuple (Section 7.4). (The IPv6 Destination Address of this MPL Data Message identifies the MPL Domain). So for this data structure, there's perhaps no need to add an explicit "Domain identifier" to the tuple. But it would clarify the text to add such element to the tuple.

regards,
Esko

This update addresses all of the open tickets in the following manner:

Ticket 103: MPL Control Messages may be disabled by setting CONTROL_MESSAGE_TIMER_EXPIRATIONS to zero.

Ticket 104: Added security considerations text.

Ticket 105: Scope is determined by the IPv6 Destination Address of MPL Data Packet.

Ticket 106: Text added to always use IPv6-in-IPv6 encapsulation when multicast destination does not match MPL Domain Address.

Ticket 107: Multiple parameter sets are not supported at this time.

Ticket 108: Added explicit 1-bit version field.

Ticket 109: All MPL packets must be destined to the MPL Domain Address that identifies the MPL Domain.

Ticket 110: Not in scope.  If an application subscribes to an address, it should receive all packets destined to that address whether or not they were received in an MPL Data Packet.
