Abstract

Describes a zero-configuration protocol for dynamically assigning IPv6 multicast addresses. Applications randomly assign multicast group IDs from a reserved range and prevent collisions by using mDNS to publish records in a new "eth-addr.arpa" special-use domain. This protocol satisfies all of the criteria listed in draft-karstens-pim- zeroconf-mcast-addr-alloc-ps.
