Subject: [MBONED] 224.0.0.12
In the IANA list
http://www.iana.org/assignments/multicast-addresses/
224.0.0.12 is listed as
224.0.0.12 DHCP Server / Relay Agent [RFC1884]
This address is manifestly not assigned in RFC 1884 (which deals
with IPv6), and a search on my part reveals only
that DHCP-AGENTS.MCAST.NET resolves to 224.0.0.12
Does anyone know what, if anything, this address is really used for,
and on what authority ?
My suspicion at present is that this may be a lame delegation.
Regards
Marshall
P.S. Bob Hinden says
After doing some searches, it looks like the 224.0.0.12 multicast
was defined in a draft "Extensions to DHCP for Roaming Users"
<draft-mukherjee-dhc-dhcproam-00.txt>. This appears to be where
the incorrect reference is.
The next version of that draft -01 does not have the definition.
