However, it is % generally recognized that IP multicast requires significant routing % coordination and configuration, and hence its routing protocols are % non-scalable. Recently, Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) has been % standardized and proposed as the deployable IP multicast % communication architecture. SSM basically works for the one-to-many % communication, and eliminates many of the complexities the % traditional many-to-many multicast communication has. While SSM gives % advantages for the IP multicast deployment, there is still a gap % between what is reported as the state-of-the-art in the literature % and what could be implemented in practice. % In this paper, we analyze the deployment barriers SSM creates, and % consider how we can ease some of the barriers. To define the possible % approaches, we discuss the functions SSM requires, and the necessary % components network operators and application developers need to know % for fulfilling the demand.
