....Protocol (AAP) 20] which could be incorporated into other address allocators. Microsoft created an alternative means for allocation of multicast addresses by extending their Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, originally designed to allocate temporary unicast addresses. Multicast DHCP (M DHCP) [22] will allocate multicast addresses, consistent with the requested Administrative Scope (Link Local, Organisation Local, Global, etc. and with a lease period , the effectiveness of which is unproven. This lease period can be renewed if desired. The M DHCP authors recently removed all aspects of ....

....that a multicast address allocation scheme would be useful for solving the problem of address collision. This is a general problem in IP Multicast. A recent Internet draft of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) discusses multicast extensions to the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) [P97]. DHCP provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP IP network. The multicast extensions to DHCP add 9 additional capability of dynamic allocation of multicast addresses. Currently, the MBone uses a session announcement protocol [H96] and a session directory ....
