A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Multicast & Anycast Group Membership Working Group of
the IETF.
Title : Multicast Router Discovery
Author(s) : B. Haberman, J. Martin
Filename : draft-ietf-magma-mrdisc-02.txt
Pages : 17
Date : 2004-9-15
The concept of IGMP snooping requires the ability to identify the
location of multicast routers. Since snooping is not standardized,
there are many mechanisms in use to identify the multicast routers.
However, this can lead to interoperability issues between multicast
routers and snooping switches from different vendors.
This document introduces a general mechanism that allows for the
discovery of multicast routers. This new mechanism, Multicast
Router Discovery (MRD), introduces a standardized means of
identifying multicast routers without a dependency on particular
multicast routing protocols.

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.
