The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A Reliable Transport Mechanism for PIM' (draft-ietf-pim-port-09.txt) as an Experimental RFC This document is the product of the Protocol Independent Multicast Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Stewart Bryant. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pim-port/ Technical Summary This document creates a simple incremental mechanism to provide reliable PIM message delivery in PIM version 2 for use with PIM Sparse-Mode (including Source-Specific Multicast) and Bidirectional PIM. The reliable transport mechanism will be used for Join-Prune message transmission only, and can use either TCP or SCTP as the transport protocol. Working Group Summary WG progress was smooth with a large number of comments from many people helping to form the document. Document Quality This is an Experimental document. At least one implementation exists. Personnel Mike McBride (mmcbride7@gmail.com) is the Document Shepherd. Adrian Farrel (adrian@olddog.co.uk) is the Responsible AD RFC Editor Note End of 3.1: OLD: TCP Connection ID AFI: The AFI value to describe the address-family of the address of the TCP Connection ID field. When this field is 0, a mechanism outside the scope of this document is used to obtain the addresses used to establish the TCP connection. NEW: TCP Connection ID AFI: The AFI value to describe the address-family of the address of the TCP Connection ID field. Note that this value does not need to match the address-family of the PIM Hello message that carries it. When this field is 0, a mechanism outside the scope of this document is used to obtain the addresses used to establish the TCP connection. End of 3.2: OLD: SCTP Connection ID AFI: The AFI value to describe the address- family of the address of the SCTP Connection ID field. When this field is 0, a mechanism outside the scope of this document is used to obtain the addresses used to establish the SCTP connection. NEW: SCTP Connection ID AFI: The AFI value to describe the address- family of the address of the SCTP Connection ID field. Note that this value does not need to match the address-family of the PIM Hello message that carries it. When this field is 0, a mechanism outside the scope of this document is used to obtain the addresses used to establish the SCTP connection. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
