Nadia,

I was under the illusion that there was a range of multicast addresses that were allocated for site specific definition. I have looked through the assigned numbers list and can not find such a range. Therefore, you are right. If there is interest in the proposal it will be necessary to get IANA to assign some numbers.

I was reading your proposal on the multicasting setup for H.323 family. What sort of mechanism are you assuming will be used to allocate these multicast addresses? (If I am right, you are saying that we already have a multicast address and the terminal connects to that) but the allocation of addresses is a problem issue on its own. May be something like mark handley's work on sdp and the address allocation would be useful...
