Title : Simplified Multicast Forwarding for MANET
Author(s) : J. Macker, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-manet-smf-05.txt
Pages : 46
Date : 2007-6-28
This document describes the Simplified Multicast Forwarding (SMF)
protocol. SMF provides a basic IP multicast forwarding capability
suitable for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET). SMF applicability is
limited to providing multicast forwarding within MANET routing
regions. SMF specifies mechanisms to provide temporally unique
multicast packet identification for the purpose of enabling MANET-
specific duplicate packet detection (DPD). SMF also specifies the
operation of DPD maintenance and checking for both sequence-based and
hash-based methods. For IPv6, a hop-by-hop option header is
specified that assists in the overall DPD process. The optional
operation of intermediate devices, called taggers, is also specified
and relates to potential use with multiple border routers. SMF is
designed to take advantage of reduced relay sets for efficient MANET
multicast forwarding and the document describes use and interaction
with a number of approaches. Pseudocode and additional educed relay
set discussion is provided in the Appendices. Basic issues relating
to the operation of multicast MANET border routers are discussed but
ongoing work in this area remains and is beyond the scope of this
document.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-manet-smf-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
