Description of Working Group:

  The MBONE Deployment Working Group is a forum for coordinating the
  deployment, engineering, and operation of multicast routing protocols
  and procedures in the global Internet, inter-domain and single domain.
  This activity will include, but not be limited to:

  - Document 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 for sharing operational information
  to aid in operation of the multicast backbones and interconnects.

  - Analyze the need for IPv4 - IPv6 multicast transition solutions

  - Develop tools, extend protocols and provide operational and
  implementation advice that assists in multicast administration,
  diagnostics, troubleshooting and deployment between/within native and
  non-native environments.

  - Development of routing and group membership protocols is out of scope.
  This working group may develop requirements and assist in review and
  feedback of documents in other working groups responsible for such
  protocols.
