All things related to multicast

[Bill Nickless <>]

I'm not sure whether I'm changing my mind or not, but--

I agree with Marshall and Toerless.

In other words, I support moving -13 forwards on the standards track.  We 
have multiple independent interoperable implementations.  We have 
widespread deployment.  We have enough experience to think about best 
current practice.  Beau and Greg are even teaching classes on it!

Sure, I would like to see MSDP data encapsulation stripped out of the spec 
before it becomes a standard.  But I'm willing to live with MSDP data 
encapsulation to see MSDP finished and published as an Internet Standard.

In London (IETF summer 2001) we narrowly missed approving the MSDP draft 
because it didn't include a maximum length on the encapsulation.  Well, -13 
says 9192 bytes.  Can we come to Yokohama (IETF summer 2002) prepared to 
agree on that?
