Yet, it is generally recognized that the IP % multicast routing protocol is fairly complex and % non-scalable and requires additional maintenance and % operational cost to network administrators. Although % there has been much research related to IP multicast % and most router vendors already support basic IP % multicast routing protocols, there is still a big gap % between what is reported as the state-of-the-art in % the literature from what is implemented in practice. % In this paper, we clarify the complexities of % traditional multicast communication and describe % possible solutions using the one-to-many multicast % communication model called Source-Specific Multicast % (SSM). We explain this communication model and the % corresponding routing architecture and examine the % statistics obtained for the number of multicast % routing entries in our backbone router, which is % connected to the international backbone. We also % introduce our international collaboration activities % that are contributing to the deployment and promotion % of IP multicast services in the Internet. %misc:
