<abstract>

<t>
	This document specifies how protocols operating at layers above
	layer 3 can use the multicast suppression algorithms, for instance
	the algorithms specified in RFC 6621.

<section anchor='intro' title='Introduction'>

<t>	
	Limiting the number of multicast forwarders provides performance
	benefits when used with a protocol that relies on flooding messages
	throughout a network. Some good multicast suppression methods for
	limiting the number of multicast forwarders while maintaining complete
	network coverage are specified in RFC 6621 <xref target="RFC6621"/>.
	Routing protocols that use multicast can offer much greater
	performance using multicast suppression algorithms.  Such algorithms
	do not affect the origination of multicast messages, but only determine
	whether a node needs to forward incoming multicast messages that are
	intended to flood the network.  Enabling performance benefits for
	reactive manet routing protocols was a strong motivating factor in
	the development and publication of RFC 6621.
</t>

<t>	
	RFC 6621 multicast suppression algorithms are specified to operate at
	layer 3.  Manet routing protocols use RFC 5444 <xref target="RFC5444"/>
	as a message bundling layer; they operate above layer 3.  Such
	protocols specify that incoming multicast control messages have to be
	processed before regeneration; in other words, the incoming multicast
	message is not forwarded at all.
	Manet control messages are sent with the IP destination address
	set to the link-local multicast address LL-MANET-Routers
	<xref target="RFC5498" /> unless otherwise specified.
	This document specifies a way to use layer 3 multicast suppression
	algorithms at a layer above layer 3 so that algorithms that
	require network-wide flooding can reap the benefits of layer-3
	multicast suppression algorithms.

		currently forwards incoming multicast messages to its neighbors,		based on the results of running a multicast suppression
		algorithm.</t>
		<t><vspace /></t>
        <t hangText="Multicast Suppression Algorithm"><vspace /> An algorithm
		that determines which multicast routers are required for
		complete coverage of a multicast group; retransmission by other
		multicast routers for the multicast group is unnecessary. </t>
		<t><vspace /></t>
	<t hangText="Regeneration"><vspace />Transmission of a message
		formed by processing and modification of an incoming
		message for an operation requiring the attention of
		members of a multicast group.</t>

<t>
	If the node is not currently a multicast forwarding node,
	then the node does not regenerate multicast messages even
	if the conditions for regeneration are satisfied.
</t>

<t>
	For example, if an AODVv2 <xref target="I-D.ietf-manet-aodvv2"/>
	router is not currently a multicast forwarding node, then it does
	not regenerate multicast messages
	(e.g., RREQ or RERR) even if the conditions for regeneration are
	satisfied. This restriction only applies for regeneration, and does
	not apply for multicast RREQ or RERR messages originated by the node.
