All things related to multicast

[Guy Almes <>]

FYI; although we're mostly plumbers, keeping abreat of issues in the area of
multicast applications is important.  I'm glad to see that Kevin is taking a
lead here.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the MBONE Deployment Working Group of the IETF.

        Title           : IP Multicast Applications:  Challenges and Solutions
        Author(s)       : B. Quinn, K. Almeroth
        Filename        : draft-ietf-mboned-mcast-apps-02.txt
        Pages           : 28
        Date            : 05-Mar-01
        
This document describes the challenges involved with designing and
implementing multicast applications.  It is an introductory guide for
application developers that highlights the unique considerations of
multicast applications as compared to unicast applications.
To this end, the document presents a taxonomy of multicast
application I/O models and examples of the services they can support.
It then describes the service requirements of these multicast
applications, and the recent and ongoing efforts to build protocol
solutions to support these services.

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
        "get draft-ietf-mboned-mcast-apps-02.txt".

Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

In the body type:
        "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mboned-mcast-apps-02.txt".
        
NOTE:   The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
        MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
        feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
        command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
        a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
        exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
        "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
        up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
        how to manipulate these messages.
                
                
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
