The IESG has approved the following document: - 'PIM-SM Multicast Routing Security Issues and Enhancements ' <draft-ietf-mboned-mroutesec-04.txt> as an Informational RFC This document is the product of the MBONE Deployment Working Group. The IESG contact persons are David Kessens and Bert Wijnen. Technical Summary This memo describes security threats for the larger (intra-domain, or inter-domain) multicast routing infrastructures. Only Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) is analyzed, in its three main operational modes: the traditional Any Source Multicast (ASM) model, Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) model, and the ASM model enhanced by the Embedded-RP group-to-RP mapping mechanism. This memo also describes enhancements to the protocol operations to mitigate the identified threats. Working Group Summary This document is a product of the mboned working group. Protocol Quality David Kessens reviewed this document for the IESG. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
