RFC 2226
Title: IP Broadcast over ATM Networks
Author: T. Smith, G. Armitage
Status: Proposed Standard

This memo describes how the IP multicast service being developed by
the IP over ATM working group may be used to support IP broadcast
transmission. The solution revolves around treating the broadcast
problem as a special case of multicast, where every host in the
subnet or cluster is a member of the group.
This document is a product of the Internetworking Over NBMA Working
Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
