Multicast drafts —these can be obtained from many sources. The one that I used is:http://info.internet.isi.edu:80/in-drafts/id-abstracts.html“Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol”, T. Pusateri, 08/11/1998, <draft-ietf-idmr-dvmrp-v3-07.txt,.ps>. This document is an update to Version 1 of the protocol specified in RFC 1075.

“Domain Wide Multicast Group Membership Reports”, Bill Fenner, 08/07/1998, <draft-ietf-idmr-membership-reports-01.txt,.ps>. Domain Wide Multicast Group Membership Reports allow this information to be learned in a fashion similar to IGMP at the domain level.

“Internet Group Management Protocol, Version 3”, Steve Deering, B. Cain, A. Thyagarajan, 12/03/1997, <draft-ietf-idmr-igmp-v3-00.txt>. This document specifies Version 3 of the Internet Group Management Protocol, IGMPv3. Version 3 of IGMP adds support for “source filtering.”œ“PIM Version 2 DR Election Priority Option”, L. Wei, 03/05/1998, <draft-ietf-idmr-pimv2-dr-priority-00.txt>. This draft specifies the DR Election Priority Option in PIMversion 2 Hello messages.

“IGMP Multicast Router Discovery”, B. Cain, Shantam Biswas, 03/12/1998, <draft-ietf-idmr-igmp-mrdisc-00.txt>. Companies have been proposing “IGMP snooping” type schemes for layer-2 bridging devices. A method for discovery multicast capable routers is necessary for these schemes.

“Core Based Trees (CBT version 3) Multicast Routing—Protocol Specification—”, <draft-ietf-idmr-cbt-spec-v3-01.txt>. This specification supercedes and obsoletes RFC 2189.
