I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG. These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the security area directors. Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other last call comments. This draft describes a mechanism for mapping an organization's unicast to multicast address in IPv4. The security considerations section does exist and (as also stated in RFC 3180) the dynamic means for constructing multicast addressing using this scheme reduces DoS attacks for allocations from outside the organization. Which I agree with. General comments: None. Editorial comments: None. Shawn. --
