Like other internet activities, multicast is affected by the fact
that the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is occurring over a period of
years, via multiple transition paths. As a result, mechanisms need
to be added to the basic multicast architecture to assist in specific
transition scenarios. This document describes detailed use cases so
that the requirements for the multicast transition mechanisms can be
better understood.
The considered opinion in discussions to date on multicast transition
requirements has been that the two most important transition
scenarios in the near future will be the "4-6-4" and "6-4" network
scenarios. These scenarios are described in detail below, in their
several possible variants, showing the new issues that IPv6
transition raises for multicast operation.
There is further general agreement that Any-Source Multicast (ASM)
(the service, not necessarily the technology) is no longer an
important use case. As a result, this document restricts itself to
scenarios where the set of multicast sources is separate from the set
of multicast receivers. As a final restriction, it assumes a single
administrative provider domain.
