Extensions to Support Efficient Carrying of Multicast Traffic in Layer-2 Tunneling Protocol
RFC 4045, “Extensions to Support Efficient Carrying of Multicast Traffic in Layer-2 Tunneling Protocol”, is an Experimental document published in April 2005 by G. Bourdon. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) provides a method for tunneling PPP packets. This document describes an extension to L2TP, to make efficient use of L2TP tunnels within the context of deploying multicast services whose data will have to be conveyed by these tunnels. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
What “Experimental” means
Describes a specification that is part of a research or development effort, published so the community can gain experience with it.
