Subject: Reclaiming 225/8

225/8 was allocated for experimentation with the MASC protocol.
  In particular, it was to be used to statically assign the top
  level of the MASC infrastructure (statically) so we didn't have
  to deploy a BRIB capable routing system before experimenting
  with the MALLOC architecture. The assignment is (from 
  http://www.iana.org/assignments/multicast-addresses):

  225.0.0.0-225.255.255.255  MALLOC (temp - renew 1/01) [Handley]

  Since we are not using 225/8 for this purpose (or at all, for
  that matter), I want to reclaim it. Mark Handley suggested that
  I mention this to the list. If you have comments, please
  respond directly to me (copying the list). 

  Thanks,

  Dave
