eGLOP and/or 232/8 question (SSM)

i apologize if this has been discussed...searching mboned/nanog/ietf/arin/etc archives doesn't give me the clarification i hoped for.

is there a defined method to request eGLOP space? does anyone really care what people use internally for mcast? i see mr. eubanks submitted a proposal back in 2007 for eGLOP assignment process and ARIN shot it down, but i can't seem to find current status.

i've exhausted my 233/8 space and i'm moving to SSM (iptv). SSM is defined as 232/8, but is using that really necessary (technicalities aside)? if i do indeed move to 232/8, would it make the most sense to have my sources live in publicly assigned space for possible advertising in the future? mostly looking for what others have done as best-practice and future-proofing here...

thanks kindly for on/off-list replies.

Hi Ryan,

i apologize if this has been discussed...searching mboned/nanog/ietf/arin/etc
archives doesn't give me the clarification i hoped for.

If you need additional IPv4 multicast address space you can request it using
the form on this page:

http://www.iana.org/protocols/apply/

The EGLOP space is set to become additional AD-HOC multicast space. The
draft for this can be found at:

http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-mboned-rfc3171bis

Hope this helps,

Leo
