The Internet needs to support IPv4 and IPv6 packets. Both address
families and their attendant protocol suites support multicast of the
single-source and any-source varieties. As part of the transition to
IPv6, there will be scenarios where a backbone network running one IP
address family internally (referred to as internal IP or I-IP) will
provide transit services to attached client networks running another
IP address family (referred to as external IP or E-IP). It is
expected that the I-IP backbone will offer unicast and multicast
transit services to the client E-IP networks.
Softwires Mesh is a solution to E-IP unicast and multicast support
across an I-IP backbone. This document describes the mechanisms for
supporting Internet-style multicast across a set of E-IP and I-IP
networks supporting softwires mesh.
