31 PIM Source-Specific Mode (PIM-SSM) e c s z PIM Source-Specific Mode (PIM-SSM) is supported on platforms: PIM-Source-Specific Mode (PIM-SSM) is a multicast protocol that forwards multicast traffic from a single source to a subnet. In the other versions of Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM), a receiver subscribes to a group only. The receiver receives traffic not just from the source in which it is interested but from all sources sending to that group. PIM-SSM requires that receivers specify the sources in which they are interested using IGMPv3 include messages to avoid receiving unwanted traffic. PIM-SSM is more efficient than PIM-SM because it immediately creates shortest path trees (SPT) to the source rather than first using shared trees. PIM-SM requires a shared tree rooted at the RP because IGMPv2 receivers do not know about the source sending multicast data. Multicast traffic passes from the source to the receiver through the RP, until the receiver learns the source address, at which point it switches to the SPT. PIM-SSM uses IGMPv3. Since receivers subscribe to a source and group, the RP and shared tree is unnecessary, so only SPTs are used. On Dell Force10systems, it is possible to use PIM-SM with IGMPv3 to achieve the same result, but PIM-SSM eliminates the unnecessary protocol overhead. PIM-SSM also solves the multicast address allocation problem. Applications should use unique multicast addresses because if multiple applications use the same address, receivers receive unwanted traffic. However, global multicast address space is limited. Currently GLOP/EGLOP is used to statically assign Internet-routable multicast addresses, but each autonomous system number yields only 255 multicast addresses. For short-term applications, an address could be leased, but no global dynamic multicast address allocation scheme has been accepted yet. PIM-SSM eliminates the need for unique multicast addresses because routing decisions for (S1, G1) are independent from (S2, G1). As a result, subnets do not receive unwanted traffic when multiple applications use the same address. In Figure 31-1, Receiver 1 is an IGMPv2 host. The packets for group 239.0.0.2 travel to it first via the RP, then by the SPT. Receiver 2 is an IGMPv3 host. The packets for group 239.0.0.1 travel only via the STP.

PIM Source-Specific Mode (PIM-SSM)

is supported on platforms:

e c s z

PIM-Source-Specific Mode (PIM-SSM) is a multicast protocol that forwards multicast traffic from a single

source to a subnet. In the other versions of Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM), a receiver subscribes to

a group only. The receiver receives traffic not just from the source in which it is interested but from all

sources sending to that group. PIM-SSM requires that receivers specify the sources in which they are

interested using IGMPv3 include messages to avoid receiving unwanted traffic.

PIM-SSM is more efficient than PIM-SM because it immediately creates shortest path trees (SPT) to the

source rather than first using shared trees. PIM-SM requires a shared tree rooted at the RP because

IGMPv2 receivers do not know about the source sending multicast data. Multicast traffic passes from the

source to the receiver through the RP, until the receiver learns the source address, at which point it switches

to the SPT. PIM-SSM uses IGMPv3. Since receivers subscribe to a source and group, the RP and shared

tree is unnecessary, so only SPTs are used. On Dell Force10systems, it is possible to use PIM-SM with

IGMPv3 to achieve the same result, but PIM-SSM eliminates the unnecessary protocol overhead.

PIM-SSM also solves the multicast address allocation problem. Applications should use unique multicast

addresses because if multiple applications use the same address, receivers receive unwanted traffic.

However, global multicast address space is limited. Currently GLOP/EGLOP is used to statically assign

Internet-routable multicast addresses, but each autonomous system number yields only 255 multicast

receive unwanted traffic when multiple applications use the same address.
