      DNS Reverse IP AMT (Automatic Multicast Tunneling) Discovery
                draft-ietf-mboned-driad-amt-discovery-11

Abstract

   This document updates RFC 7450 (Automatic Multicast Tunneling, or
   AMT) by modifying the relay discovery process.  A new DNS resource
   record named AMTRELAY is defined for publishing AMT relays for
   source-specific multicast channels.  The reverse IP DNS zone for a
   multicast sender's IP address is configured to use AMTRELAY resource
   records to advertise a set of AMT relays that can receive and forward
   multicast traffic from that sender over an AMT tunnel.  Other
   extensions and clarifications to the relay discovery process are also
   defined.
