[pim] Re: I-D Action: draft-ietf-pim-gaap-20.txt

Hi Mike, Dino,

Thanks for processing and updating the secdir comments.

One last open end is the IANA allocation review comment. The advice from a port expert during IANA review is found:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/pim/Er6XAlbfmxYPyP__WTb6QOiA29I/

Can you resolve this observation in the draft accordingly to make IANA allocations go smoothly?

Be well,
G/

Internet-Draft draft-ietf-pim-gaap-20.txt is now available. It is a work item
of the Protocols for IP Multicast (PIM) WG of the IETF.

   Title:   Group Address Allocation Protocol (GAAP)
   Authors: Dino Farinacci
            Mike McBride
   Name:    draft-ietf-pim-gaap-20.txt
   Pages:   29
   Dates:   2026-08-14

Abstract:

   This document describes a design for a lightweight decentralized
   multicast group address allocation protocol (named GAAP and
   pronounced "gap" as in "mind the gap").  The base allocation protocol
   requires no centralized service and minimal configuration, although
   deployments using encryption or administrative scoping may require
   configuration.  The protocol runs among group participants which need
   a unique group address to send and receive multicast packets.
   Tailored for IPv4 and IPv6 networks, this design offers a simple,
   lightweight option rather than extending an existing protocol.
