Source-specific Multicast (SSM)
Source-specific Multicast
(SSM) is a method of
delivering information from a single source
to
multiple recipients
over a network, where only the source and group address are needed to define the
multicast group
. This approach
enhances security
and efficiency by eliminating the need for receivers to specify which sources they want to receive data from, reducing
unwanted traffic
and
simplifying routing protocols
.
