Zero-Configuration Assignment of IPv6 Multicast Addresses Using mDNS

This document describes a zero-configuration protocol for dynamically assigning IPv6 multicast addresses that are unique at the link-layer. Applications randomly assign multicast group IDs from a specified range and prevent collisions by using Multicast DNS (mDNS) to publish resource records under a new "eth-addr.arpa" domain. This protocol satisfies all of the criteria listed in draft-ietf-pim-zeroconf- mcast-addr-alloc-ps.
