Begin forwarded message: From: Wassim Haddad via Datatracker <[email protected]> Subject: WG Last Call: draft-ietf-intarea-multicast-application-port-03 (Ends 2026-02-09) Date: January 26, 2026 at 9:14:40 AM PST To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Resent-From: <[email protected]> Reply-To: Wassim Haddad <[email protected]> Dear colleagues, This message starts a WG Last Call for: draft-ietf-intarea-multicast-application-port-03 This Working Group Last Call ends on 2026-02-09 Please note we need at least 5 reviews to progress the draft to next step. Abstract: This document discusses the drawbacks of the current practice of assigning a UDP port to each multicast application. Such assignments are redundant because the multicast address already uniquely identifies the data. The document proposes assigning a UDP port specifically for use with multicast applications and lists requirements for using this port. This method does not require modification to existing protocol stacks, though recommended updates to make the port easier to use are included.
