Overview of the Internet Multicast Addressing Architecture

Metadata

Publisher: IETF
Doc Type: Informational
Pages: 14
Abstract: The lack of up-to-date documentation on IP multicast address allocation and assignment procedures has caused a great deal of confusion. To clarify the situation, this memo describes the allocation and assignment techniques and mechanisms currently (as of this writing) in use. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
