Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol
Overview
RFC 1075, “Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol”, is an Experimental document published in November 1988 by D. Waitzman, C. Partridge, S.E. Deering. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This RFC describes a distance-vector-style routing protocol for routing multicast datagrams through an internet. It is derived from the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), and implements multicasting as described in RFC-1054. This is an experimental protocol, and its implementation is not recommended at this time.
What “Experimental” means
Describes a specification that is part of a research or development effort, published so the community can gain experience with it.
