| There was some pushback in earlier discussions on this, ?if feasible? was
added as a
| compromise.  Ultimately, what an operator does in their own domain is up
to them; the main
|  recommendation of this BCP is on the inter-domain use.

Some background to Tim Chown's comment about "pushback in earlier
discussions"
Section 4.4 is on Developing application guidance: SSM, ASM, service
discovery
Section 4.5 is on Preferring SSM applications intradomain

We have intradomain applications with up to hundreds of nodes doing many to
many multicast IP packet exchanges where the nodes can dynamically come and
go.  (Although most networks only contain 20 to 100 nodes, I believe the
largest such network had >250 nodes doing many to many multicast.


SSM is not feasible (and neither is ASM with PIM-SM due to the high
overhead and dynamics as nodes come and go).  So our applications use ASM
with BIDIR-PIM.


We want to ensure that operating system and router developers continue to
support ASM and BIDIR-PIM over the long term for our intradomain
applications. I.e., we do NOT want to deprecate intradomain use of ASM.


Thus, we pushed back against the recommendation in 4.4 to develop new
applications using SSM and in 4.5 to prefer SSM for future intradomain
applications.  In response, the
draft-ietf-mboned-deprecate-interdomain-asm document
was updated to put in the phrase "if feasible" in sections 4.4. and 4.5 so
that SSM is not recommended if not feasible.


Note that we do not object to deprecating interdomain use of ASM.
