A new version of I-D, draft-zhou-mboned-multrans-path-optimization-01.txt has been successfully submitted by Cathy Zhou and posted to the IETF repository.

Filename:          draft-zhou-mboned-multrans-path-optimization

Revision:  01

Title:                  Multicast transition path optimization in IPv4 and IPv6 networks

Creation date: 2012-03-05

WG ID:              Individual Submission

Number of pages: 9

Abstract:

   This document describes a mechanism to optimize the path between the

   multicast router and multicast source in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.

   The basic idea is that when a multicast translation router has an

   IPv4 path and an IPv6 path to the same multicast data source, and

   both IPv4 and IPv6 joins are received, only one path is used.  One

   path is pruned, instead of the same traffic flowing over both v4 and

   v6 paths.  By adding a metric to the IPv4 path, the multicast

   translation router can determine which path to receive multicast

   data: IPv4 path, IPv6 path or both paths.  Therefore, an optimization

   path will typically be chosen when an identical v4/v6 traffic flow

   exists.
