Unicast-Prefix-Based IPv4 Multicast Addresses
RFC 6034, “Unicast-Prefix-Based IPv4 Multicast Addresses”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2010 by D. Thaler. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This specification defines an extension to the multicast addressing architecture of the IP Version 4 protocol. The extension presented in this document allows for unicast-prefix-based assignment of multicast addresses. By delegating multicast addresses at the same time as unicast prefixes, network operators will be able to identify their multicast addresses without needing to run an inter-domain allocation protocol. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
