In certain topologies, it is not necessary to run a multicast routing
protocol. It is sufficient for a device to learn and proxy group membership
information and simply forward multicast packets based upon that
information. This draft describes a mechanism for forwarding based solely
upon Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) or Multicast Listener
Discovery (MLD) membership information.
