Title: An Abstract API for Multicast Address Allocation
Author(s): R. Finlayson.
Status: INFORMATIONAL
Date: Feb 2000
Length: 20954
This document describes the "abstract service interface" for the dynamic multicast address allocation service, as seen by applications. While it does not describe a concrete API (i.e., for a specific programming language), it describes - in abstract terms - the semantics of this service, including the guarantees that it makes to applications.
Additional documents (not necessarily products of the IETF) would describe concrete APIs for this service.
