Abstract
This document specifies a possible solution enabling multicast routing in a home network. It relies on the Source-Specific Bidirectional variant of the Protocol Independent Multicast routing protocol (PIM-SSBIDIR). HNCP is used to elect the Rendezvous Point address and a Proxy Controller connected to the Rendezvous Point Link. Additionally, PIM-SSBIDIR routers behavior is slightly modified on the Rendezvous Point Link so that the Proxy Controller may know the home-wide subscription state. Note that this document defines one single working solution to the stated problem: Inputs regarding other possibilities are welcome.
