RFC 8777: DNS Reverse IP Automatic Multicast Tunneling (AMT) Discovery
Recent RFCs 2020-04-24
Summary:
This document updates RFC 7450, "Automatic Multicast Tunneling" (or
AMT), by modifying the relay discovery process. A new DNS resource
record named AMTRELAY is defined for publishing AMT relays for
source-specific multicast channels. The reverse IP DNS zone for a
multicast sender's IP address is configured to use AMTRELAY resource
records to advertise a set of AMT relays that can receive and forward
multicast traffic from that sender over an AMT tunnel. Other
extensions and clarifications to the relay discovery process are also
defined.
