Abstract

   This document examines the process of transporting applications via
   multicast across inter-domain peering points. The objective is to
   describe the setup process for multicast-based delivery across
   administrative domains and document supporting functionality to
   enable this process.

   1. Introduction

   Several types of applications (e.g., live video streaming) are well
   suited for delivery via multicast means. The use of multicast for
   delivering such applications offers significant savings for
   utilization of resources in any given administrative domain. End
   user demand for such applications is growing. Often, this requires
   transporting such applications across administrative domains via
   inter-domain peering points.
