All things related to multicast

[Richard Machida <>]

Here are brief notes that I took during the working group meeting during the 
I2 Fall Member Meeting.

Richard Machida

Hitoshi Asaeda gave a brief introduction to CR (Channel Reflector) and 
introduced his student Kazuhiro Mishima To do the introduction of the new 
version of CR. 

They would like people to visit channel-reflector.net to take a look at the 
new software and think about installing CR on a campus host and start 
populating the database. Kazuhiro Mishima Agreed to send out the PPT to the 
list.

Brief discussion of IPv6 multicast in I2 and their campus networks.
     We should consider having additional IPv6 multicast workshops once some 
instructors have been identified
     Maybe the AK JT meeting would be a good candidate.
     Change the focus of the working group more towards v6
     Updated information on MLDv2 snooping capable switches
     Updated list of issues preventing wide spread adoption

Brief discussion by Jeffrey Handal of LSU's experience using multiple RPs to 
more easily support Ghost on their campus network

De-emphasize the IPv4 multicast emphasis due to the lack of interest in 
workshops 

Questions on the status of the IPTV project

Consider transitioning to be a SIG from a WG. It will be brought up at the 
working group chairs meeting tomorrow morning.
