This is one of the key steps needed to support SSM.  I hope we can see 
deployment follow (relatively) quickly.

Subject: Protocol Action: Internet Group Management Protocol,  Version 3 to 
Proposed Standard



The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Internet Group Management
Protocol, Version 3' <draft-ietf-idmr-igmp-v3-11.txt> as a Proposed
Standard.  This document is the product of the Inter-Domain Multicast
Routing Working Group.  The IESG contact persons are Randy Bush and
Bill Fenner.


Technical Summary

This document specifies Version 3 of the Internet Group Management
Protocol, IGMPv3, which is used by IPv4 systems to report their IP
multicast group memberships to neighboring multicast routers.
Version 3 of IGMP adds support for "source filtering", which may be
used by multicast routing protocols to avoid delivering multicast
packets from specific sources to networks where there are no
interested receivers.

Working Group Summary

The working group had no technical dissent to this document.

Protocol Quality

This document was reviewed for the IESG by Randy Bush.
