This document describes how intra-LIS IP multicast can be efficiently
supported among routers over ATM without using the Multicast Address
Resolution Server (MARS). The method described here is specific to
Sparse Mode PIM [PIM-SM], and relies on the explicit join mechanism
inherent in PIM-SM to notify routers when they should create group
specific point-to-multipoint VCs.

Group of the IETF.
