Abstract
Explicit multicast(Xcast)[1] is a new kind of Internet multicast, and encodes the list of destinations within its packet. This document specifies tunneling scheme of Xcast packets. Since a single Xcast tunnel has multiple egress-nodes, the original Xcast packet can be encapsulated either within a Xcast packet or within a unicast packet. When tunneled by Xcast-in-Xcast encapsulation, the bitmap of the original Xcast packet is overwritten by the bitmap of the tunnel Xcast packet at tunnel egress-nodes, in order to control the active destination set.
