Abstract

Currently, most IP multicasting applications are implemented based on any-source multicast (ASM) model that supports many to many multicast services. However, it is known that the current ASM-based multicast architecture has several deployment problems such as address allocation, lack of access control, and inefficient handling of well-known multicast sources. The source-specific multicast (SSM) working group in IETF proposed SSM architecture to overcome the weaknesses of ASM architecture. The architecture of SSM is based on one to many multicast services. Also, in order to provide SSM service, multicast listener discovery version 2 (MLDv2) protocol should be supported. In this paper, we introduce the architecture of SSM protocol and multicast group management protocol. After that, we present the architecture and implementation of IPv6 SSM and MLDv2 protocols in Linux systems
