At the plenary last week, Christian asked about getting IANA to assign an IPv6 multicast address. Poking around a bit, I can't find the process under which IANA assigns IPv6 multicast addresses documented.
RFC 2780 says: > 5.4.3 IPv6 Multicast Addresses > > IPv6 multicast addresses are defined in [V6AD]. They are identified > by a FP of 0xFF. Assignment guidelines for IPv6 multicast addresses > are described in [MASGN]. > [MASGN] Hinden, R. and S. Deering, "IPv6 Multicast Address > Assignments", RFC 2375, July 1998. But 2375 says: > [ADDRARCH] defines rules for assigning new IPv6 multicast addresses. > [ADDARCH] Hinden, R., and S. Deering, "IP Version 6 Addressing > Architecture", RFC 2373, July 1998. But 2373 doesn't seem to say anything about this. Is the procedure documented someplace else that I've missed? If not, it seems like son-of-2373 should fix this, i.e., draft-ietf-ipngwg-addr-arch-v3-07.txt.
