Abstract:
When a host is connected to multiple multicast capable routers, each
of these routers is a candidate to process the multicast flow for
that LAN, but only one router should be elected to process it. This
document proposes a generic multicast router election mechanism using
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) and Multicast Listener
Discovery (MLD) that can be used by any Multicast Overlay Signalling
Protocol (MOSP). Having such generic election mechanism removes a
dependency on Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM).
