The idea of requiring some sort of RTS/CTS handshake has been batted around all nearly every IETF I've ever attended.

CTS snuck in the back door and was accepted as part of the SSM service model. We just call it an IGMPv3 (S,G) Group Membership Report.

How very sneaky, and clever too! :-)

Just as a receiver must refresh CTS by responding to periodic IGMPv3 Group Membership Queries, let's require senders to refresh RTS by sending datagrams at least once per minute.
