The IESG has received a request from the MBONE Deployment WG (mboned) to consider the following document: - 'IPv4-Embedded IPv6 Multicast Address Format' <draft-ietf-mboned-64-multicast-address-format-01.txt> as a Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-05-02. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies an extension to the IPv6 multicast addressing architecture to be used in the context of IPv4-IPv6 interconnection. In particular, this document defines an address format for IPv4- embedded IPv6 multicast addresses. This address format can be used for IPv4-IPv6 translation or encapsulation schemes. This document updates RFC4291. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mboned-64-multicast-address-format/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mboned-64-multicast-address-format/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
