Various challenges are discussed, such as the use of multicast snooping to ensure efficient use of bandwidth, limitations of switch hardware, problems associated with address collisions, and the need to avoid user configuration. After all limitations were considered it was determined that multicast addresses need to be dynamically-assigned by a decentralized, zero- configuration protocol. Requirements and recommendations for suitable protocols are listed and specific considerations for assigning IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are reviewed. The document closes with several solutions that are precluded from consideration.}, }
