The lack of up-to-date documentation on IP multicast address
allocation and assignment procedures has caused a great deal of
confusion.  To clarify the situation, this memo describes the
allocation and assignment techniques and mechanisms currently (as of
this writing) in use.  This document is not an Internet Standards 
Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.

This document is a product of the MBONE Deployment Working Group of the IETF.
