These use cases are organized into the following ANCP capabilities:

o multicast replication initiated by the Network Access Server (NAS);

o conditional access and admission control with grey lists;

o bandwidth delegation; and

o committed bandwidth reporting.

These capabilities may be combined according to the rules given in this specification.

This document updates RFC 6320 by assigning capability type 3 to a capability specified in this document and by changing the starting point for IANA allocation of result codes determined by IETF Consensus from 0x100 to 0x64.')
