Title : Using IGMPv3 and MLDv2 For Source-Specific Multicast
Author(s) : H. Holbrook, et al.
Filename : draft-holbrook-idmr-igmpv3-ssm-07.txt
Pages : 11
Date : 2004-7-26
The Internet Group Management Protocol Version 3 (IGMPv3) and the
Multicast Listener Discovery Protocol Version 2 (MLDv2) are protocols
that allow a host to inform its neighboring routers of its desire to
receive IPv4 and IPv6 multicast transmissions, respectively. Source-
Specific Multicast (SSM) is a form of multicast in which a receiver is
required to specify both the network-layer address of the source and the
multicast destination address in order to receive the multicast
transmission. This document defines the notion of an 'SSM-aware' router
and host, and clarifies and, in some cases, modifies the behavior of
IGMPv3 and MLDv2 on SSM-aware routers and hosts to accomodate source-
specific multicast.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-holbrook-idmr-igmpv3-ssm-07.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
