11. Application Form

Requests for multicast address assignments can be submitted through the application form on the IANA web site at [IANA-registration]. It is important to submit sufficient detail to allow the IESG designated expert to review the application. If the details given in the request are not clear, or further information is needed, the IESG designated expert may request additional information before assigning an address.

11.1. Size of Assignments of IPv4 Multicast Addresses

Occasionally, more than one multicast address is required. In these cases, multiple addresses are available in AD-HOC Block III. Where there is a requirement for a very large number of addresses, the assignment will be staged. The additional stages will only be made after the complete use of the initial assignment(s).

A separate document describing the policy governing assignment of addresses in the AD-HOC blocks I, II, and III will be developed and published. The format, location, and content has not yet been decided and so these will be documented in a future version of this document.
