Abstract

   This document proposes to migrate the MCAST.NET domain into the ARPA
   top level domain that is dedicated to infrastructure support.  It
   also provides for a maintenance policy for the new MCAST.ARPA domain
   and covers migration issues and caveats.  This document updates RFC
   5771 and forms part of BCP 51.

1.  Introduction

   This document describes a maintenance policy and migration strategy
   for the MCAST.NET (MCAST.ARPA) domain that contains names for a
   subset of the multicast groups assigned by the IANA.

   Comments should be sent

2.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to the mboned working group.

1.1. be interpreted as described in BCP 14, [RFC2119].

3.  The ARPA top level domain

   [RFC3172] designates the ARPA top level domain as "Address and
   Routing Parameters Area" to be used for infrastructure applications.

   The MCAST.NET second level domain fulfills the criteria layed set out in
   section 2.1 of [RFC3172].  However, there is no standards track
   document explicitly designating this domain to a multicast group name
   to multicast group address mapping.

   [RFC3171]

   [RFC5771] defines the IPv4 multicast address assignment policy.

   [RFC4291] defines the IPv6 multicast address assignment policy.

2.

4.  Current Use

   Currently the zone MCAST.NET reflects the contents of parts the IANA
   IPv4 multicast address registry.  However, some names are missing
   from the DNS zone and some names used differ from the description
   that appears in the registry file.  Entries in the IPv6 multicast
   address registry are not reflected in the MCAST.NET zone.

   With few exceptions, only multicast group addresses from 224.0.0/24
   and 224.0.1/24 are listed in MCAST.NET.  Addresses outside 224/8 do
   not appear at all.

3.

5.  Registration Policy

   Names within MCAST.ARPA will consist of one additional label and will MUST
   adhere to the hostname syntax requirements of [RFC1123].  These names
   will
   MUST own a single A RR, a single AAAA RR, or both.  Addresses will be
   in the IPv4 or IPv6 multicast address space.

3.1.

5.1.  Names and Addresses eligible for Registration in MCAST.ARPA

   Only IANA multicast address registrations are eligible for being
   listed in MCAST.ARPA.

   For IPv4, only multicast groups from 224.0.0/24 (Local Network
   Control Block) and 224.0.1/24 (Internetwork Control Block) will have
   names assigned.

3.2.

   For IPv6, only multicast groups from FF01::/16 (Node-Local Scope
   Multicast Addresses) and FF02::/16 (Link-Local Scope Multicast
   Addresses) will have names assigned.

5.2.  Subdomains of MCAST.ARPA

   The namespace under MCAST.ARPA is considered flat, i.e., all direct
   descendants of MCAST.ARPA are leaves in the DNS tree.  Future
   extensions might want to define subdomains that serve special
   purposes.  Any such designation needs IETF consensus [RFC2434].

3.3. [RFC5226].

5.3.  Corresponding Reverse Mapping

   The DNS Reverse Mapping for those multicast groups that appear as
   addresses in MCAST.ARPA is to MUST be kept consistent with the forward
   namespace.

5.3.1.  Reverse Mapping for 224/4

   A single DNS PTR record will be entered at the corresponding owner
   within the 224.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain that points to the multicast group
   name name within MCAST.ARPA.

   The zones 225.IN-ADDR.ARPA through 239.IN-ADDR.ARPA will be delegated
   but shall MUST remain empty (except necessary infrastructure RRs).  The one
   exception is 233.IN-ADDR.ARPA.  A mechanism for the delegation of
   reverse mapping for GLOP space [RFC3180] should be designed and
   implemented.

5.3.2.  Reverse Mapping for FF0::/12

   [How to deal with IPv6 multicast reverse mapping is TBD.]

4.

6.  Migration Issues

   The current content of the MCAST.NET zone shall MUST be brought in line
   with the multicast address registry.

   Since legacy systems may use MCAST.NET for quite some time, there
   needs to be a mapping/forwarding solution to answer those queries in
   a useful manner without discouraging migration.

   RFCs mentioning MCAST.NET are [RFC3261] and [RFC3678].

   An updated multicast address assignment policy architecture appears in
   [I-D.ietf-mboned-addrarch].

4.1.

6.1.  Migration Strategies

   After the move, several options are available for the future handling
   of MCAST.NET.

4.1.1.

   [[The working group needs to choose one of the options.]]

6.1.1.  Freeze

   The current MCAST.NET zone could be frozen, so that no additions,
   deletions or changes to the content (apart from those necessary for
   maintenance, e.g.  SOA and NS RRs) would be perfomed. performed.  New
   registrations would only be available in MCAST.ARPA, so this could be
   an incentive for querying clients to alter their behavior as well.

4.1.2.

6.1.2.  Phase Out

   MCAST.NET would only see deletions.

4.1.3.  Even after the last record will
   have been deleted, the domain should be kept registered by the IANA
   to prevent redelegation ...

6.1.3.  Continue

   MCAST.NET could be further operated in parallel, either by
   operational habit or per DNAME RR.

5. RR, as described in [RFC2672].

7.  Security Considerations

   The usual Security Considerations for the DNS apply. [RFC3833]apply.

   The MCAST.ARPA., MCAST.NET., and the Reverse mapping zones mentioned
   in this document SHALL be DNSSEC signed by the IANA under direction
   from the IAB.

   There is no Security Problem associated with the migration itself.

   MCAST.ARPA. should be signed with DNSSEC as soon as the ARPA zone is
   signed.
   XXX keeping MCAST.NET.

   {This section needs more work.}

6.

8.  IANA Considerations

   This document amends [RFC3171] [RFC5771] to add a mandatory entry in the
   MCAST.ARPA domain and a corresponding reverse mapping entry.  The
   officially registered multicast group name is made subject to DNS
   hostname syntax rules.
