The IESG has received a request from the Multicast Mobility WG (multimob) to consider the following document: - 'Mobile Multicast Sender Support in Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) Domains' <draft-ietf-multimob-pmipv6-source-07.txt> as Experimental RFC 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 2014-02-24. 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 Multicast communication can be enabled in Proxy Mobile IPv6 domains via the Local Mobility Anchors by deploying MLD proxy functions at Mobile Access Gateways, via a direct traffic distribution within an ISP's access network, or by selective route optimization schemes. This document describes a base solution and an experimental protocol to support of mobile multicast senders in Proxy Mobile IPv6 domains for all three scenarios. Protocol optimizations for synchronizing PMIPv6 with PIM, as well as a peering function for MLD Proxies are defined. Mobile sources always remain agnostic of multicast mobility operations. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-multimob-pmipv6-source/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-multimob-pmipv6-source/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
