Title: CastGate: an auto-tunneling architecture for IP Multicast
State: Active
Authors: Pieter Liefooghe

The architecture described in this document aims at giving as many
unicast-only end-users access to IP multicast content, this without the
need for their ISPs to upgrade their network infrastructure to IP
multicast. It further does not require any change to the unicast only
infrastructure nor to the end-user operating systems. The access that is
provided, is from a user's perspective as good as a real IP multicast
connection. It can be used to send and receive ASM content and allows the
receptions of SSM content. It further allows applying Authentication,
Authorization and Accounting (AAA) to IP Multicast.
