Provides multicast address allocation services.
The address allocation system is responsible for managing multicast address allocation.
One of the first steps in establishing a multicast session is choosing a multicast address. Because multicast addresses are shared across multiple networks, this is a tricky problem. Several techniques are in use today, but none are ideal. The address allocation system provides a standard API (MAMAPI) that may be used to allocate and deallocate addresses. Different address allocators may be plugged in to implement different allocation techniques.
