Title: IPv4 Automatic Multicast Without Explicit Tunnels (AMT)
State: Active
Authors: Dave Thaler, Lorenzo Vicisano
Group: MBONE Deployment (mboned)

Automatic Multicast Tunneling (AMT) allows multicast communication amongst
isolated multicast-enabled sites or hosts, attached to a network which has
no native multicast support. It also enables them to exchange multicast
traffic with the native multicast infrastructure (MBone) and does not
require any manual configuration. AMT uses an encapsulation interface so
that no changes to a host stack, or applications, are required, all
protocols (not just UDP) are handled, and there is no additional overhead
in core routers.
