Hey, Victor -
I am in the process of studying this book, and what Beau is referring to at
the beginning of Chapter to is in reference to the original RFC for multicast,
written by Steve Deering....which was the first accepted definition of how to
do multicast in IP. The reference to the Dead Sea Scrolls (historical
manuscripts subject to much interpretation of the 1940s), is his name for the
RFC....I believe this is well stated in the second paragraph of that
chapter.....he states, "This chapter translates the writings on multicast
addresses and multicast Media Access Control address found in the "IP Mulicast
Dead Sea Scrolls" (RFC1112) from RFC-speak into language that I hope is easier
to understand". I wouldn't ponder to much on this thought (he is just trying
to make the aforementioned point) and it should not keep you from
understanding the concepts that Beau is going through.

Subject: IP MULTICAST DEAD SCOLLS ??
Hello Friends
I have this question about Multicast, but more that a technical problem
I
think is an interpretation problem, in Cisco Press Book Chapter 2 Mr.
Beau
is referencing RFC 1112 as the "IP MULTICAST DEAD SCOLLS" .. Could
anybody
with more light explain this English (Why I is so hard to understand
words)
in more plain . I do not know if there is a better place to post book
stuff questions so it would be very nice to know if there a special
mailing
list for that, if so please excuse my post
This RFC 1112 "specifies the extensions required of a host
implementation of
the Internet Protocol (IP) to support multicasting" and in a general way
(IM
(very ) HO interpretation, this Rfc explains the very basis of
multicast,
but I maybe do not understand the joke here (without being disparaging.)
