Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SSM (Source-Specific Multicast) is a multicast technique that allows multiple sources to send data to multiple receivers on the same multicast network. SSM does not require a rendezvous point (RP), and it can use either the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) or the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) for data transmission. SSM is recommended when multiple sources are available on the network and the multicast route is simple. SSM is applicable to one-to-many applications, such as video conferencing and online gaming.
