Subject: WG Review: MBONE Deployment (mboned)
The MBONE Deployment (mboned) WG in the Operations and Management Area of the
IETF is undergoing rechartering. The IESG has not made any determination yet.
The following draft charter was submitted, and is provided for informational
purposes only. Please send your comments to the IESG mailing list
(iesg@ietf.org) by 2025-07-06.

Charter: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/charter-ietf-mboned/
The Multicast Backbone Deployment Working Group (MBONED WG) 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 activity will include the following work areas:
* Receive regular reports on the current state of the deployment of multicast
technology.
* Document deployment of multicast routing in the global Internet.
* Capture the operational experience of those who have deployed and are
deploying various multicast technologies.
* Identify, develop, and maintain mechanisms to address transport-layer and
security-related gaps that hinder broader multicast deployment.
* Develop mechanisms and procedures for sharing operational information to
aid in operation of the multicast backbones and interconnects.
* Investigate and define 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.
* Specify and maintain tools, protocols, and procedures that assist with
multicast administration, diagnostics, troubleshooting, and interoperability
between native and non-native multicast environments (e.g., Mtrace and
Automatic Multicast Tunneling (AMT)).
* Develop and maintain data models and other automation-enabling components
related to the operation of multicast services.
Development of routing protocols, forwarding-plane solutions and extensions,
and group membership protocols is out of scope. The MBONED WG may assist in
review 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
groups (e.g., MOPS, TSVWG, CCWG, NETCONF, and SAAG).
Milestones:
Jul 2025 - Submit Multicast Redundant Ingress Router Failover to the IESG
Jul 2025 - Submit Multicast YANG Data Model to the IESG
Aug 2025 - Submit Circuit Breaker Assisted Congestion Control to the IESG
Aug 2025 - Submit Discovery Of RESTCONF Metadata for Source-specific
Multicast to the IESG
Nov 2025 - Submit YANG Data Model for Automatic Multicast Tunneling to the
IESG
May 2026 - Submit Non-source-routed Multicast in SR Networks to the IESG
Jun 2026 - Submit Asymmetric Manifest Based Integrity to the IESG
