Abstract

This draft specifies dynamic multi-source discovery for source-specific multicast (SSM). The source discovery is handled by the end-hosts and multicast routing has to be only SSM aware. The source discovery is achieved by sending MSDP Source Active messages through the original SSM channel. The support can be implemented on the application level.
