- Documenting deployment of multicast routing in the global Internet.
- Receive regular reports on the current state of the deployment of multicast technology. Create "practice and experience" documents that capture the experience of those who have deployed and are deploying various multicast technologies.
- Based on reports and other information, provide feedback to other relevant working groups.
- Develop mechanisms and procedures to aid in the transition to native multicast, where appropriate.
- Develop mechanisms and procedures for sharing operational information to aid in operation of the multicast backbones and interconnects.
This is not meant to be a protocol development Working Group.
