Abstract:
The Internet needs to support IPv4 and IPv6 packets. Both address
families and their related protocol suites support multicast of the
single-source and any-source varieties. During IPv6 transition,
there will be scenarios where a backbone network running one IP
address family internally (referred to as internal IP or I-IP) will
provide transit services to attached client networks running another
IP address family (referred to as external IP or E-IP). It is
expected that the I-IP backbone will offer unicast and multicast
transit services to the client E-IP networks.
Softwire Mesh is a solution providing E-IP unicast and multicast
support across an I-IP backbone. This document describes the
mechanism for supporting Internet-style multicast across a set of
E-IP and I-IP networks supporting softwire mesh. We focus on IPv4-
over-IPv6 scenario in this document, due to lack of real-world use
cases for IPv6-over-IPv4 scenario.
