A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Version 6 Working Group Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Link Scoped IPv6 Multicast Addresses
Author(s) : J. Park, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-ipv6-link-scoped-mcast-05.txt
Pages : 6
Date : 2004-8-18
This document specifies an extension to the multicast addressing
architecture of the IPv6 protocol. The extension allows for the use
of interface-IDs to allocate multicast addresses. When the link-
local unicast address is configured at each interface of a host, an
interface ID is uniquely determined. By delegating multicast
addresses at the same time as the interface ID, each host can
identify their multicast addresses automatically at Layer 1 without
running an intra- or inter-domain allocation protocol in serverless
environments. Basically, it is preferred to use this method for the
link-local scope rather than Unicast-Prefix-based IPv6 Multicast
Addresses [RFC 3306].

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipv6-link-scoped-mcast-05.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.
