Delivery of IPv4 Multicast Services to IPv4 Clients over an IPv6 Multicast Network
RFC 8114, “Delivery of IPv4 Multicast Services to IPv4 Clients over an IPv6 Multicast Network”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2017 by M. Boucadair, C. Qin, C. Jacquenet, Y. Lee, Q. Wang. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a solution for the delivery of IPv4 multicast services to IPv4 clients over an IPv6 multicast network. The solution relies upon a stateless IPv4-in-IPv6 encapsulation scheme and uses an IPv6 multicast distribution tree to deliver IPv4 multicast traffic. The solution is particularly useful for the delivery of multicast service offerings to customers serviced by Dual-Stack Lite (DS-Lite).
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.
