Hierarchical Join/Prune Attributes
RFC 7887, “Hierarchical Join/Prune Attributes”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2016 by S. Venaas, J. Arango, I. Kouvelas. It updates RFC 5384. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines a hierarchical method of encoding Join/Prune attributes that provides a more efficient encoding when the same attribute values need to be specified for multiple sources in a PIM Join/Prune message. This document updates RFC 5384 by renaming the encoding type registry specified there.
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.
The canonical text of RFC 7887 is hosted at rfc-editor.org. Available in TXT,HTML.
