Re: Multicast requirements

> And, to be honest, if I just "think wider", REQ3, 4, and 5 (IPv6, existing mobility protocols, and compatibility) should be sufficient to cover "multicast support". I copy-paste from the respective motivation sections: "DMM solutions SHOULD target IPv6 as the primary deployment environment." [..] "A DMM solution SHOULD first consider reusing and extending IETF-standardized protocols before specifying new protocols." I think these two would in general cover also stuff developed in multimob. And, as if this is not sufficient, then REQ5 should close this discussion: "The DMM solution MUST be able to co-exist with existing network deployments and end hosts." Therefore, if you already have multicast services in your domain, the DMM solution should handle them.

I agree. Existing requirements do cover what we need.
