Title : Simplified Multicast Forwarding for MANET
Author(s) : J. Macker
Filename : draft-ietf-manet-smf-03.txt
Pages : 37
Date : 2006-10-12
This document describes the Simplified Multicast Forwarding (SMF)
protocol that provides a basic IP multicast forwarding capability
suitable for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET). SMF is designed to have
limited applicability as a forwarding mechanism for multicast packets
within MANET routing areas. In addition, it provides mechanisms to
support interoperability with a connected fixed-infrastructure
networks. SMF uses a simplified forwarding mechanism that delivers
multicast packets to all MANET multicast receivers within a MANET
routing area. The core design does not use receiver specific group
information in favor of reduced complexity and state maintenance
within the mobile topology. Group-specific extensions may follow in
later specifications. The design accounts for the unique nature and
behavior of MANET interfaces and takes advantage of efficient relay
set algorithms previously designed and applied in the MANET routing
control plane. This document describes the SMF forwarding mechanisms
in detail, its use with the MANET Neighborhood Discovery Protocol
(NHDP), and several efficient relay set algorithms specified for use
in conjunction with SMF.

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
