Title : Simplified Multicast Forwarding for MANET
Author(s) : J. Macker, S. Team
Filename : draft-ietf-manet-smf-07.txt
Pages : 59
Date : 2008-02-25
This document describes a Simplified Multicast Forwarding (SMF)
mechanism that provides basic IP multicast forwarding suitable for
wireless mesh and mobile ad hoc network (MANET) use. SMF specifies
techniques for multicast duplicate packet detection (DPD) to assist
the forwarding process. SMF also specifies DPD maintenance and
checking operations for with both IPv4 and IPv6. SMF takes advantage
of reduced relay sets for efficient MANET multicast data distribution
within a mesh topology. The document describes interactions with
other protocols and multiple deployment approaches. Algorithms for
selecting reduced relay sets and related discussion are provided in
the Appendices. Basic issues relating to the operation of multicast
MANET border routers are discussed but ongoing work remains in this
area beyond the scope of this document.

In the body type:

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.
