Abstract
One reason that multicast communication is not in widespread use is its anonymous host model: a host may join and leave a group at any time from anywhere. Lack of information about service users and access control in this model makes it vulnerable to different types of attacks and also creates problems for a service provider to generate enough revenue. An architecture is proposed in this paper to identify multicast end users and to control access to the multicast group communication. The AAA architecture of the IETF is incorporated in the solution. A group policy server is used to provide group management services and IGMP/MLD protocol messages are extended to exchange host and user identity information. The end user information in this system enables an ISP to control the distribution of the multicast traffic as well as to collect real time user accounting information. Part of the proposed solution has been formally modeled in PROMELA. Validation of the model has shown that the proposed architecture and protocols are invulnerable to many forms of attack

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
