In short: there is a IPv4 to IPv6 multicast gateway, as created by Stig Venaas, available on the m6bone. This makes all IPv4 multicast groups available to the IPv6 multicast world. eg see: http://www.uninett.no/testnett/multicast/mcgw/ or: http://www.terena.nl/tech/task-forces/tf-ngn/tf-ngn10/20030206_SV_multicast_gateway.pdf Currently this gateway is being run by Renater. Questions about it can be asked on the m6bone mailinglist (See www.m6bone.net). As for transition of islands/hosts. Multicast should come together with IPv6 connectivity. As such normal IPv4 to IPv6 transition mechanisms apply. Some transition mechanisms (eg 6to4, teredo) don't support multicast but most of the others do. It is more a router issue, just like currently with IPv4 if it gets supported by the transition mechanism or not. Greets, Jeroen
