The IESG has received a request from the Protocol Independent Multicast WG (pim) to consider the following document: - 'IGMP/MLD-Based Explicit Membership Tracking Function for Multicast Routers' <draft-ietf-pim-explicit-tracking-08.txt> as 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 2013-11-06 (this is a 3 week last call to allow extra time as people are preparing for IETF-88). 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 describes the IGMP/MLD-based explicit membership tracking function for multicast routers and IGMP/MLD proxy devices supporting IGMPv3/MLDv2. The explicit membership tracking function contributes to saving network resources and shortening leave latency. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pim-explicit-tracking/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pim-explicit-tracking/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
