Sorry we missed the deadline but this design has been presented before in LISP, MBONED, and PIM working groups last year. We finally got a draft written. We will post to ID directory on Monday.

This draft can be explained roughly in two slides. See enclosed.

We define a new term in this draft called "rep-encapsulate" which is the process of *replicating* multicast packets and then *encapsulating* them in either unicast or multicast RLOCs.

It is called "Signal-Free" since there is no router to router signalling to build multicast trees. The mapping database is used for rendezvousing sources and receivers.

Thanks,
Dino/Victor
