In rfc1054, S. Deering mentions "algorithms and protocols used within and between multicast routers ... will be specified in separate documents" Where/how can I get these "documents"? And where/how can I contact S. Deering. Marc.

Marc: Unless Steve has something up his sleeve, with the exception of his paper to be given at the upcoming SIGCOMM, there are, as yet, no documents specifying how multicast routing is done between routers. As we speak, there is very active work being done by BBN and Stanford to test out two differents protocols and sets of algorithms for routing between multicast agents. The plan is to write up the results of these experiments in August. Craig
