Forwarder Policy for Multicast with Admin-Local Scope
in the Multicast Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (MPL)
Abstract
The purpose of this document is to specify an automated policy for
the routing of Multicast Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks
(MPL) multicast messages with Admin-Local scope in a border router.

1. Introduction
Multicast scopes are defined in [RFC4291]. [RFC7346] extends the
scope definition with this text:
"Interface-Local, Link-Local, and Realm-Local scope boundaries are
automatically derived from physical connectivity or other
non-multicast-related configurations. Global scope has no boundary.
The boundaries of all other non-reserved scopes of Admin-Local or
larger are administratively configured."
The Admin-Local scope must therefore be administratively configured.
In this document, "administratively configured" does not imply
actions by a human beyond installing the protocol specified herein.
"Administratively configured" means an automatic derivation as
described in this document.
