The IESG has received a request from the MBONE Deployment WG (mboned) to consider the following document: - 'Deprecating ASM for Interdomain Multicast' <draft-ietf-mboned-deprecate-interdomain-asm-05.txt> as Best Current Practice
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2019-12-23. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document recommends deprecation of the use of Any-Source Multicast (ASM) for interdomain multicast. It recommends the use of Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) for interdomain multicast applications and that hosts and routers in these deployments fully support SSM. The recommendations in this document do not preclude the continued use of ASM within a single organisation or domain and are especially easy to adopt in existing intradomain ASM/PIM-SM deployments. Requirements Language and Terminology The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mboned-deprecate-interdomain-asm/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mboned-deprecate-interdomain-asm/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references.
