A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Multicast-Address Allocation Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Dynamic Allocation Guidelines for IPv6 Multicast
Addresses
Author(s) : B. Haberman
Filename : draft-ietf-malloc-ipv6-guide-04.txt
Pages : 7
Date : 12-Oct-01
This document specifies guidelines that must be implemented by any
entity responsible for allocating IPv6 multicast addresses. This
includes, but is not limited to, any documents or entities wishing
to assign permanent IPv6 multicast addresses, allocate dynamic IPv6
multicast addresses, and define permanent IPv6 multicast group
identifiers. The purpose of these guidelines is to reduce the
probability of IPv6 multicast address collision, not only at the
IPv6 layer, but also at the link-layer of media that encode portions
of the IP layer address into the MAC layer address.

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.
