Subject: [MBONED] Last Call: <draft-ietf-mboned-deprecate-interdomain-asm-05.txt> (Deprecating ASM for Interdomain Multicast) to Best Current Practice

From: The IESG <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 09 Dec 2019 14:05:06 -0800

The IESG has received a request from the MBONE Deployment WG (mboned) to
consider the following document: - 'Deprecating ASM for Interdomain Multicast'
  <draft-ietf-mboned-deprecate-interdomain-asm-05.txt> as Best Current
  Practice

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
[email-masked] mailing lists by 2019-12-23. Exceptionally, comments may
be sent to [email-masked] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning
of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract

   This document recommends deprecation of the use of Any-Source
   Multicast (ASM) for interdomain multicast.  It recommends the use of
   Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) for interdomain multicast
   applications and that hosts and routers in these deployments fully
   support SSM.  The recommendations in this document do not preclude
   the continued use of ASM within a single organisation or domain and
   are especially easy to adopt in existing intradomain ASM/PIM-SM
   deployments.
