The IESG has approved the following document: - 'PMIPv6 multicast handover optimization by the Subscription Information Acquisition through the LMA (SIAL)' (draft-ietf-multimob-handover-optimization-07.txt) as Experimental RFC This document is the product of the Multicast Mobility Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Brian Haberman and Ted Lemon. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-multimob-handover-optimization/ Technical Summary In this document, some enhancements to the base solution described in RFC 6224 are described. These enhancements include the use of a multicast tree mobility anchor as the topological anchor point for multicast traffic, as well as a direct routing option where the Mobility Access Gateway can provide access to multicast content in the local network. These enhancements provide benefits such as reducing multicast traffic replication and supporting different PMIPv6 deployment scenarios. Working Group Summary Was there anything in WG process that is worth noting? For example, was there controversy about particular points or were there decisions where the consensus was particularly rough?
