A new version of I-D, draft-sarikaya-softwire-6rdmulticast-03.txt has been successfully submitted by Behcet Sarikaya and posted to the IETF repository.
This version covers both AMT and translation based multicast for 6rd. Filename: draft-sarikaya-softwire-6rdmulticast Revision: 03 Title: Multicast Support for 6rd Creation date: 2012-03-25 WG ID: Individual Submission Number of pages: 16 Abstract: This memo specifies 6rd's multicast component so that IPv6 hosts can receive multicast data from IPv6 servers. In AMT based encapsulation solution, AMT Gateway at the 6rd Customer Edge router uses AMT protocol to establish a tunnel interface with AMT Relay at the 6rd Border Relay and this tunnel is used to exchange MLD messages to establish multicast state at AMT Relay so that AMT Relay can tunnel IPv6 multicast data to IPv6 hosts connected to AMT Gateway. In 6rd Translation Multicast based solution, the protocol is based on proxying MLD at the 6rd Customer Edge router and then translating MLD messages to IGMP messages and sending them upstream to a network which supports IPv4 multicast. 6rd Border Relay is multicast router and IGMP-MLD translator. It translates IGMP join back to MLD join message and sends it to multicast source. IPv6 Multicast data received at 6rd Border Relay is translated into IPv4 multicast data and then sent to IPv4 multicast tree downstream to 6rd Customer Edge which translates back to IPv6 multicast data then delivers to the hosts.
