The MBONE Deployment (MBONED) Working Group is a forum for coordinating the deployment, engineering, and operation of multicast routing protocols and procedures in the global Internet, inter-domain and single domain. The MBONED WG is chartered to produce Standards Track, Informational, Best Current Practices, and Experimental RFCs. The MBONED WG activity will include, but not be limited to:
-
Document deployment of multicast routing in the global Internet.
-
Receive regular reports on the current state of the deployment of multicast technology.
-
Capture the experience of those who have deployed and are deploying various multicast technologies.
-
Develop and maintain mechanisms and procedures to address transport and security gaps inhibiting the deployment of multicast.
-
Develop mechanisms and procedures for sharing operational information to aid in operation of the multicast backbones and interconnects.
-
Develop and maintain tools and protocols that assist in multicast administration, diagnostics, troubleshooting, and deployment between/within native and non-native environments (e.g., Mtrace and Automatic Multicast Tunneling (AMT)).
-
Develop data models and other automation building blocks related to the operation of multicast services.
-
Explore and develop tools and mechanisms applicable to multicast deployment in emerging environments (e.g., decentralized systems and overlay networks) or other contexts where conventional deployment models may not suffice.
Development of routing protocols, forwarding-plane solutions and extensions, and group membership protocols is out of scope. The MBONED WG may develop requirements and assist in review and feedback of documents in other working groups responsible for such protocols (e.g., PIM, BIER, BESS, and LISP). Likewise, the MBONED WG will solicit inputs for its chartered work and assist in review for relevant work in other working groups (e.g., MOPS, TSVWG, NETCONF, and SAAG).
