Hi all,

I was looking at the RFC 3307 and after reading section 4, I had the follow=
ing questions:

1. Permanent mcast addresses use Group Ids 0x00000001 to 0x3FFFFFFF . Does =
this mean this range of group IDS is reserved and cannot be used with non p=
ermanent addresses??

2. Also can the group ID range 0x40000000 to 0x7FFFFFFF be used by customer=
s for their content channels??

Thanks
Kunal
