1. Scope

RMCP is a protocol which is used to realize a relayed multicast data transport scheme. Differently from the conventional IP multicast, RMCP can configure a relayed multicast path that multicast traffic flows by using intermediate end-hosts. RMCP can be applied to the current unicast based Internet where IP multicast has not been deployed completely without any modifications.

This Recommendation

International Standard addresses the basic concepts needed to specify RMCP for relayed multicast. It defines the related terminology and proposes a framework for the future development of RMCP. The framework covers network topology including network entities and the relationship between them, service scenarios, basic operations, and message encoding rules.
