Hi Stig,

DS-Lite was designed to deliver v4 unicast packets over v6-only network to
v4 host. However when we started thinking about how to deliver multicast
packets in the same network setup, we will have to tunnel all multicast
packets over tunnels. This is very inefficient to use of AFTR. This is the
motivation of dslite-multicast draft. However, you are absolutely right.
This is a solution for tunneling IPv4 multicast through an IPv6-only
network.

B.R.,
